也許是因為 Lee Alexander McQueen 逝世十週年的關係，曾經作為 McQueen on 工作室的前負責人和好友Ruti Danan，把珍藏的 McQueen 設計包括1994年秋冬系列的 “Banshee” 、1995年秋冬的 “Highland Rape” 和1996年秋冬的 “Dante” 等著名系列，總共多達72件服裝，將會在波士頓的 RR 拍賣行上拍。

Stunning Alexander McQueen black floral slice-laced dress from his seminal Highland Rape collection. This use of lace which had begun earlier in his career would go on to be a house signature, appearing in Autumn-Winter 1996’s Dante and beyond. McQueen would have sketched and assembled this dress himself. ? Part of the Alexander McQueen Archive of Ruti Danan on preview now at www.rrauction.com.
