Cowl-Neckline Sleeveless Woven Maxi Dress

Sarah Burton's reign at Alexander McQueen may be coming to an end, but it never ceases to deliver. Just take this dress, for example; it forgoes her usual array of high-octane silhouettes and gritty skull emblems and takes a romantic, minimalist approach. Imagined from gauzy silk, it's tailored with a sleeveless cowl neckline before falling to a floor-skimming hem that crescendos in a subtle flare.

• 52% viscose, 48% acetate; lining 74% acetate, 26% silk

Headed by Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen continues to reinvent modern femininity with pieces that combine technical expertise with contemporary relevance. From statement dresses, shoes, boots and bags to luxury loungewear and outerwear, classic silhouettes are reimagined with asymmetric cuts and opulent embellishment.
