2005 Alexander McQueen Beige Leather Mini-Skirt with Net Panels

This unusual Alexander McQueen skirt is from the late designer's pre spring/summer 2005 collection. Designed before Lee's tragic death in 2010, this buttery soft, beige leather mini-skirt features the ingenious tailoring that the designer was known for. The panelled construction creates a feminine silhouette with curved seams over the hips surrounding net-filled cut-outs which offer a peekaboo flash of skin. Adding a utilitarian feel, two 3D patch pockets fill the length of the sides below the net, and fasten with two brass snap closures on each. Two strips of sand-hued herringbone cloth adorn the front, finished with a brass D-ring and reminiscent of a suspender belt placement. At the back, there are two gentle pleats and a central strip of herringbone cloth, again adorned with a D-ring a the bottom. The waistband is crafted from coordinating beige leather and is secured with an off-centre hidden Velcro fastening and hidden zip. This skirt is unlined.

I love the juxtaposition of the feminine concepts of the tailoring against the obvious military references of the para cord and D rings. This skirt is in very good to excellent vintage condition with a few minor faint markings to the leather, none of them bigger than a few millimetres across. Made in Italy, it does not have a size or composition label, so please check our below measurements carefully. The fabric has no stretch.  We estimate a good fit for all sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6.
