This is an extraordinary collectible from Alexander McQueen's iconic Spring/Summer 2007 "Sarabande" collection. The mannequin is crafted entirely from fiberglass with a chrome finish (nitrate of silver) and features a beautiful floral embellishment just below the chest. It stands 215 cm tall and rests on iconic black armadillo-style bases, a hallmark of McQueen's avant-garde designs.
This piece exemplifies McQueen's ability to blend industrial materials with organic motifs, creating a striking juxtaposition of beauty and structure. It embodies the themes of nature and decay central to the "Sarabande" collection.
I would love to hear your thoughts or insights about similar pieces, their historical context, or how this design reflects McQueen's legacy in fashion and art.
Its been valued by Barneby's (valuemystuff) at 10,000-15,000 british pounds..
