"Oyster" dress by Alexander McQueen, British, from his spring 2003 collection. This dress is simply magnifique, it "seems to be poetic rendering of a disaster at sea," the "sand-colored organza recalls the mille-feuille ridging on the surface of a shell" and it is a pearl encased in a "deconstructing oyster." To me, this is fashion as poetry, fashion as beauty and nature, that is all.
