如果說working-from-home教會了時尚迷們什麼，那就是最精彩的個人風格表達可以發生在足不出戶的情況下。 Jennifer Zuiker的Alexander McQueen系列就是如此，該系列是Lee Alexander McQueen生前的作品，由成衣和高級時裝組成。 Zuiker是來自洛杉磯的收藏家，二十多年來直接從McQueen品牌購買了標誌性的作品，建立了一個具有博物館價值的檔案，包括著名的bumster褲子、Plato’s Atlantis禮服和Sarabande外套。拍賣會將通過Doyle進行在線拍賣，Zuiker的收藏直到9月10日正式拍賣前一直存放在洛杉磯。
2018年紀錄片《McQueen》的製片人Lady Kinvara Balfour說「我在很久前就認識了Jennifer，我們就這樣直接結下了友誼。」，該紀錄片中也介紹過Zuiker的收藏。幫助促成這次拍賣會的Balfoun說：「Jennifer非常注重私隱，不希望自己有任何名聲或榮耀，但真的很高興自己的衣服被收錄。她收藏的系列完全是另一個層次的。」 真正的時尚痴迷者會注意到Zuiker的收藏和Sandy Scheier的檔案庫之間的相似：大部分是未穿過的、博物館級別的作品，後者是大都會藝術博物館服裝學院在COVID-19關閉之前的最後一次展覽。底特律人Sandy Scheier擁有著幾百件高級定制和成衣的收藏，從未穿過。 Zuiker收藏的McQueen傳奇作品也是如此：一位奇異大師的作品在歲月中保存下來。
「我認為像Jennifer這樣的收藏是如此珍貴，因為他已經去世了，」Balfour（策劃人）說。「我肯定會買幾件作品。」 個人和機構類的買家在為這場必將成為史詩的拍賣會規劃預算時，應該考慮到這一點。
