DESCRIPTION
Alexander McQueen Gold-Embroidered Black Silk Faille Dress by Sarah Burton (Resort 2012)
Curator's Note Sarah Burton's Resort 2012 collection for Alexander McQueen explored the idea of "Romantic Utility", combining military-inspired tailoring with elaborate embroidery and eveningwear. The collection included Victorian-inspired jackets, cotton drill in military greens and embroidery incorporating African and Indian influences, with shells, beads and mirrors among the decorative elements. Gold bullion embroidery also featured prominently in the eveningwear. The bodice of this black silk faille dress is covered in gold floral embroidery, with the decoration extending into black embroidery above the waist. The same black-and-gold embroidery appeared on a strapless cocktail dress in the Resort 2012 collection, which Anne Hathaway subsequently wore to the New York premiere of One Day in August 2011.
