Lot Essay

This dress design was first viewed by Daphne in Alexander McQueen's collection in 2008. After seeing it, Daphne asked Lee to create four dresses in this style, in different materials (one black, one black long sleeved, one feathered, and one silver). McQueen didnt make the dress for his shop, it was a show piece. A favourite dress of Daphne's, she has worn it to several high profile occasions and has been photographed with the likes of Mario Testino, André Talley and David Furnish whilst wearing it.

The dress in this lot is worn by Daphne Guinness in the accompanying photograph. It is one of a series of four photographs shot by Mat Collishaw for Harper's Bazaar UK, June 2012.
