ALEXANDER MCQUEEN * Runway & Museum Spring 2005 Edwardian Silk Jacket 46 10-12. Alexander McQueen. The tailoring, especially around the shoulders and lower back, shows McQueen's mastery with shape and technique. The fabric is a couture-quality 100% silk - it's an iridescent silvery-grey lilac that goes from grey to purple and matte to opalescent depending on the light - I included several angles and light sources to illustrate this. Alexander McQueen Size 46 IT / 10-12 US (Fits True) Measurements: Condition: Mint This Edwardian jacket comes from Alexander McQueen's iconic "It's Only a Game" collection, in which he evokes an 1800s chess game between America and Japan. The "shrunken" variation was featured in Vogue, the runway, and in several museum retrospectives, including the MET and LACMA. This is a "real world" variation with a traditional lapel, tailored single-breasted cut and is in an ultra rare size 46. The fabric is a couture-quality 100% silk - it's an iridescent silvery-grey lilac that goes from grey to purple and matte to opalescent depending on the light - I included several angles and light sources to illustrate this. True color is best shown on runway. It's counter-woven with a trompe l'oeil filigree lace around the hemline and cuffs. The tailoring, especially around the shoulders and lower back, shows McQueen's mastery with shape and technique. The jacket was gently worn twice and put into cold storage - this jacket is in crisp condition with no damage or specific evidence of wear.
