Alexander McQueen S/S 2010 "Plato's Atlantis" Aquatic Alien Hybrid Print Dress

About the Item

Designed by Alexander McQueen for the spring/summer 2010 collection, titled "Plato's Atlantis". This collection envisioned a future of human reversion to an animal state, how life would evolve back into the water if the ice caps melted and we were being reclaimed by nature, complete with computer-generated imagery suggesting reptilian markings. This particular pattern graced the runway and features squid/octopus tentacles in a figure shaping kaleidoscope form. Pattern also includes mythical underwater and alien-like themed graphics. Design incorporates mostly blue, aqua, and purple tones. This beautiful art piece demonstrates digital printing at its finest; transforming the wearer into a state of pure fashion fantasy. Size: 42 (Italian). Photos taken of measurements Condition: Very minor/faint discoloration at seam to interior cuffs, interior hem side seams, interior underarms. Some small/faint marks at left arm. Tiny hole at right underarm near seam. Photos taken for condition report. Plato’s Atlantis – a reference to the legendary island described by the Greek philosopher, which sank into the sea – prophesied a future world in which ice caps would melt, seas would rise, and humanity would need to evolve in order to survive.
