Asymmetric-Neck Padded-Shoulder Silk Maxi Dress

While it may not be Alexander McQueen’s spine-tingling spiders or slithering snakes uncoiling across the seams of this dress, this spectral style is no less spellbinding. Plucked from Sarah Burton’s final offering for the British house which celebrated England’s greatest heroines, this poetic piece traces the lines of your décolletage with an asymmetric neckline and reveals the slightest peak of skin with waist-nipping cut-outs, draping languidly over your frame to a floor-pooling hem.

Headed by Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen continues to reinvent modern femininity with pieces that combine technical expertise with contemporary relevance.
