Alexander McQueen Houndstooth Wool Blend Midi Dress

Alexander McQueen Houndstooth Wool Blend Midi Dress

This Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2021 midi dress arrives in the house's most iconic graphic — an oversized black-and-white houndstooth rendered in a substantial wool blend jacquard knit, a pattern that has run through McQueen's DNA since Lee himself sent it down the runway in the early 2000s — it features:
- Allover large-scale houndstooth jacquard knit in high-contrast black and white, scaled up from the traditional check into something architectural
- Draped self-tie bow at the neckline that softens the graphic weight of the pattern without undermining it
- Short puff sleeves with ribbed trim, referencing McQueen's recurring tension between structured tailoring and feminine volume
- Tiered skirt construction that shifts the houndstooth scale across panels, creating movement and dimension in the pattern
- Solid black contrast border at the hem — a clean, deliberate finish that grounds the silhouette
- Rear zip closure keeping the back surface uninterrupted

Dense, heavy wool blend knit with excellent recovery — the kind of fabric that holds a shape across a full evening without conceding anything.
