193 a rare alexander McQueen moulded leather showpiece prototype, Eshu collection, autumn-Winter 2000-2001, of interwoven wine red leather, with fringed central seams, neck and hem edges,no side seams, zip fastened to centre-back, with sculpted breasts, hips and abdomen, lined in white calico, bust 94cm, 37in, waist 66cm, 26in; together with a coloured xerox of the original McQueen sketch with sample of leather attached, a press picture of a similar bodice in the catwalk show; the original embossed card Eshu show invitation; and a printed contributors list for the spring/summer 2000 show which includes Delia Eccles’ name who was commissioned to make this piece (4)

The design sketch, i was given at the studio to work from. it isn’t signed, but presumably was done either by Lee, sarah heard or sebastian Ponns under Lee’s direction. i should also mention that as a first ‘toile’, while the exterior of the piece looks exquisite, hidden inside, the leather is backed with cream calico fabric, that acts as a support for the woven leather (which is quite thin by itself, and not really suitable for moulding). The construction of the final piece was not much different, though this didn’t bother Lee, whose main concern was to make his idea work, mould the unmouldable and have a stunning showpiece’. £2000 - 3000

194 (detail) 194 an alexander McQueen sequined ‘isabella Blow’ cocktail dress, spring-summer, 2008, woven grey satin label, of black crêpe de chine entirely covered in black sequins with gold beaded portrait of isabella Blow to the front panel, bust 86cm, 34in

Delia Eccles was commissioned to make this bodice just before she began her Ma in moulded leather at Central st Martins. she writes ‘it’s also unusual in that the original design hasn’t seen the light of day (as far as i know), but does give an idea into Lee’s design development process. once he saw how well the bodice worked, he wanted an ankle length version instead which also had only two seams. The final cream piece then morphed into the showpiece which was used for Eshu (which most people are familiar with from the press it received).

Cathy horyn in the new York Times’s review, october 8th, 2007, ‘on friday night, in a collection that was a tribute to the late stylist isabella Blow, Mr. McQueen seemed to almost dare anyone to match him for knowhow and imagination...To be sure, Mr. McQueen revisited some themes that were part of his stylish and complicated collaboration with Ms. Blow, who died in May... in the front of a chic black sequined dress, its image traced in gold beads that were partly concealed by the sequins, was a portrait of Ms. Blow by the photographer steven Meisel. You could see it only from an angle’ £700 - 1000 194 61

195 The alexander McQueen beaded cocktail gown, specially made for isabella Blow, adaped from the Eshu collection, autumn-Winter, 2000-2001, un-labelled, with boned, strapless bodice, the ground covered with acid-yellow beads in high relief which meander in molten lava-flows into the dark brown horse-hair skirt, lined in green silk, bust 81-86cm, 32-34in, waist 66cm, 26in.

for the main collection McQueen produced a high collared version of this dress which isabella admired. however, she insisted that despite the weight of the beads, that she preferred he made for her a strapless version. see ‘savage Beauty’ p.152 Metropolitan Museum of art for the high collared version of this gown. The Eshu collection was inspired by the ancient Yoruba people of Benin and nigeria. To them ‘Eshu’ is a goddess who represents a messenger of death - linking spirit helpers with human beings. McQueen said of the collection ‘i try to push the silhouette. To change the silhouette is to change the thinking of how we look. What i do is look at ancient african tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. There’s a lot of tribalism in the collections’. ‘savage Beauty’ Metropolitan Museum p.150. £25000 - 35000

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify Kerry Taylor auctions Ltd in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to Kerry Taylor auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Kerry Taylor auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. in the event Kerry Taylor auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Kerry Taylor auctions Ltd.
