Floral-Pattern Cut-Out-Back Stretch-Knit Mini Dress

With every creation he conjured, Alexander McQueen celebrated the strength of women, presenting Joan of Arc ringed in lava-hot flames or imperial queens draped in Victorian jewels. And, for her final collection as Creative Director of the house, Sarah Burton honours one of Britain’s most enduring heroines, the blood red rose. Plucked from the line-up, this dress is spun from swathes of liquid-like silk to a round-neck silhouette, patterned with an antique-inspired iteration of the emblematic bloom.

• Ref: R04277195

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