A striking piece of fashion history, this Givenchy Couture bugle-beaded sheath dress dates from Alexander McQueen’s tenure at the house in the late 1990s—a period celebrated for its precision, drama, and sculptural tailoring. The dress features thousands of hand-applied black tubular beads that catch the light with subtle iridescence, creating a fluid, shimmering surface that moves beautifully with the body.
A distinctive ivory band defines the waistline, an iconic detail found in authenticated examples from this collection, and the clean sleeveless silhouette keeps the focus on craftsmanship, texture, and line. Finished with a silk interior and the Givenchy Couture Paris label (size 38, Made in France).
This is a museum-quality garment, equally suited for collectors, archivists, editorial styling, or evening wear that demands attention.
