Azca Auctions Sells a Rare Alexander McQueen Gown by Sarah Burton for £2,500

A Kaleidoscope gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen has sold for £2,500 at Azca Auctions in London. The Hammersmith auction house saw international competitors bid for the piece on July 7th - it was finally secured by a private collector.

Lot 100, the silk gown was a slice of Sarah Burton’s 2011 debut for the house for Spring / Summer; equal parts fantastically stagy and enchanting, the dress incorporated one of the Maison’s most enduring codes, the skull, and exemplified the collection’s paganism and English countryside theming.
