Alexander McQueen 2017 Embroidered Leather Corset Obi Belt - Runway Piece

Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2017 Runway Look 18 Embroidered Leather Corset Obi Belt | Dust Bag Purchased by me from the Alexander McQueen boutique in Paris in 2017, this extraordinary embroidered leather corset belt is from Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2017 Collection, Look 18. It remains one of my favorite McQueen pieces, but unfortunately no longer fits me. Under Sarah Burton, McQueen collections celebrated British history, craftsmanship and extraordinary handwork. The Pre-Fall 2017 collection drew inspiration from Cornwall's landscape and Celtic heritage, and this piece captures that romantic, intricately worked McQueen aesthetic beautifully. Cut in structured black leather, the belt has a dramatic corset/obi silhouette designed to cinch the waist, with elaborate embroidery and embellishment across the front. It was shown as part of Look 18, making it a documented runway accessory (see photo!) A genuinely special collector's piece and increasingly difficult to find. • Authentic Alexander McQueen • Sarah Burton era • Pre-Fall 2017 Collection • Black leather • Intricate embroidered detailing • Wide corset / obi silhouette • Includes original Alexander McQueen dust bag • Excellent pre-owned condition, looks new This is a substantial, beautifully made piece and looks incredible worn over a dress, jacket, oversized shirt or knitwear. A rare opportunity for a McQueen collector — particularly with its documented runway provenance and original dust bag
