Hessian dresses, possibly AW03 Scanners, Look 21 and SS99 #13, Look 61 (but I got a little muddled with photos of the labels…). Shown with pieces and samples inspired by them.

‘SS20 Toile, Look 37
A toile for the hand-pleated, hand-cut, spiked flower dress in degradé flax flower blue silk gauze organza which recalls the pleated and shredded organza pieces from AW12.’
I very deliberately finished with the looks that reminded me of feathers, because my next blog post will be a long overdue one on Swan Lake.
As before, if this has left you wanting more McQueen here are some links for you:
