Oysterdress - Tumblr Posts

Archive piece from Alexander McQueen: floor-length dress of frayed and disheveled ivory silk organza, georgette, and chiffon. Dubbed as the "Oyster Dress" because of how the organic layering of the fabric mirrors the appearance of the namesake mollusk, this dramatic "drowned and shipwrecked" look was part of the Irere runway show, in Spring/Summer 2003. #alexandermcqueen #savagebeauty #fashion #fashionhistory #styleicon #styleiseternal #archivepiece #irere #oysterdress #springsummer2003
