Then again, there\u2019s always more to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/alexander-mcqueen\/\">Alexander McQueen<\/a> design than at first appears. In the case of this striking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/clothing\/jackets\/alexander-mcqueen-black-silk-wool-tartan-set-2006\/id-v_23196632\/\">wool skirt set<\/a> from the late designer\u2019s Fall\/Winter 2006 collection, woven into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/guide-textile-patterns\/\">textile\u2019s bright exterior<\/a> is a dark exploration of the heritage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/alexander-mcqueen-patterns\/\">the garment&#8217;s pattern<\/a> \u2014 and that of its creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suit is offered on 1stDibs by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/les-merveilles-de-babellou\/\">Les Merveilles de Babellou<\/a>, a seller located just outside of Paris that specializes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/morgan-cole-wedding\/\">in important archival fashion<\/a>. It is from McQueen\u2019s acclaimed collection the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/alexander-mcqueen-widows-of-culloden\/\">Widows of Culloden<\/a> \u2014 a somber reference to a 1746 battle near Inverness, Scotland, that initiated a period of British persecution and oppression of the Scottish people. Full of rich cultural iconography, that collection is often viewed as a follow-up to McQueen\u2019s Fall 1995 one, the sensationally titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/mcqueen-highland-rape\/\">Highland Rape<\/a>. The name did not allude to a physical assault but rather to Britain\u2019s violent seizure of Scottish land. This bloody history was a deeply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/alexander-the-great\/\">personal inspiration for McQueen<\/a>, whose paternal line can be traced back to the Scottish Isle of Skye, which is where the designer&#8217;s ashes were scattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McQueen\u2019s early training as a tailor is evident in the suit\u2019s fitted, sharply cut jacket and waistcoat. In contrast, the skirt is asymmetrical and appears to be almost haphazardly constructed. That is by design, as McQueen had a knack for subverting the traditional methods he learned on London\u2019s famed Savile Row. The intentionally uneven skirt is secured with a kilt pin featuring intricate brass filigree, another nod to McQueen\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The juxtaposition of the suit\u2019s differently constructed elements perfectly represents who McQueen was as a designer. The ensemble was also made from the McQueen (or MacQueen) family tartan. This pattern featured prominently in the designer\u2019s 1995 and 2006 Scottish-themed collections, alongside theatrical lace ruffles, thick cable knits and splendidly macabre taxidermy-bird headpieces by famed milliner and longtime McQueen collaborator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/philip-treacy\/\">Philip Treacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The McQueen family tartan was also worn by the designer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/pierpaolo-piccioli-for-moncler-ballgown-puffer\/\">Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a> at the 2006 Met Gala, whose theme was Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion. (Parker, <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/style\/sarah-jessica-parker-reflects-on-her-memorable-met-gala-looks-with-alexander-mcqueen-i-was-in-love-with-him\/\">enamored with McQueen\u2019s talent<\/a> as a designer, has said she asked to attend the event with him.) Dressed in coordinating ensembles, the pair paid homage to the designer\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unafraid to reference subjects like sanity, violence and mortality, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/alexander-mcqueen-london-victoria-and-albert-museum\/\">McQueen had a singular approach<\/a> to fashion. It is evident in this suit, which inhabits the space between light and darkness that his work always occupied. Tartan has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/vivienne-westwood-tartan\/\">a timeless quality<\/a> that plays well at autumn gatherings. While it may not be the obvious choice for Halloween, once you know what this particular plaid signifies, there\u2019s no design (or designer) better suited to the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10538392_master-1000x300.webp\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"Alexander McQueen tartan scarf\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/alexander-mcqueen\/fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Alexander McQueen on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/alexander-mcqueen\/fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crimson tartan suit may not immediately evoke the \u201cspooky season\u201d mood of October, as would, say, a black-lace gown or blood-red velvet cape.
