Couture behind the scenes The Creation of a look Alexander McQueen Behind the scene of Spring Summer Couture 2021 By Marcella Martinelli
A n oyster ruffle dress with a high neck and scalloped back in washed organza dip-dyed in pink and black. The original toile for this dress was cut in the home of a member of the womenswear design team and the finished look was initially planned in lace. As the collection progressed it evolved into an oyster ruffled dress, created in layers of organza. This piece was constructed in entirely recycled materials sourced from existing fabric stock. Many trials took place to research
the density and scale of the ruffles required to achieve the degradé effect. The creation of the ruffles is labour- intensive: every circle of organza was cut by hand.
