RR Auction: The Alexander McQueen Archive of Ruti Danan

Auction Details

British fashion genius Lee Alexander McQueen: famed designer and creator whose boundless vision propelled fashion forward from the mid-nineties with a game-changing dropped waistline, historically referenced clothing, and cinematic sense of showmanship. An impeccable capsule archive of rare early work–including garments handsewn by Lee, original patterns, and sketches–carefully conserved by former head of McQueen studio and friend, Ruti Danan.
