Important Fall 2004 Alexander McQueen 'Pantheon Ad Lecum' Runway Feather & Bead Collar

I Have A Question: Important Fall 2004 Alexander McQueen 'Pantheon Ad Lecum' Runway Feather & Bead Collar


It is extremely rare to find the accessories that appeared on the runway from the Alexander McQueen shows. They were often not produced in significant numbers and were often only found at the flagship store in very limited quantities if they were even made available at all. This masterpiece is from the Fall 2004 show entitled 'Pantheon Ad Lecum' or 'Towards the Light'. The twin of this collar walked the runway topping a dress worn by Karen Elson and it was spectacular. In the book Alexander McQueen these feather capes are remarked up in particular as being a nod to the Native American culture. This is a remarkable piece of McQueen's history and I have never seen one for sale before and might never again.

The collar is glorious. It sits on the shoulders and comes up and around the neck in a graceful curve to frame the face. It is completely covered with rows of overlapping feathers done in rows that follow the curving cut of the collar. The feathers cover every square inch of the collar front to back. Worked into  and through the  feathers are hand cut mother of pearl shell discs along with large oval amber coloured glass beads. The shell discs have a raw feel to them and the glass beads catch the light beautifully. Smaller round amber glass beads are mixed in and all of the work has been done by hand. It is backed in an ivory silk satin and closes with a back zipper. It is a true treasure that is a once in a life time find. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

The collar zips to close at the back and is lined in a hand set ivory silk satin. All the work is done by hand. There may be the occasional bead missing but nothing that stands out. The feathers around the very top of the neck show a slight crushing that is impossible to avoid given the way they are set in place. It is otherwise as close to being fresh off the rack as you can get and a remarkable piece of fashion history.

The neck is 15.75" around and the width at its widest point is 21". The collar is 2.25" high and then it is 9" wide from the bottom neck seam to the edge.

Item# DD3919

Documented Fall 1996 Chanel Black Felt Half Cap w High Feather Detailing

I Have A Question: Documented Fall 1996 Chanel Black Felt Half Cap w High Feather Detailing


This Chanel hat is from the Fall of 1996 and it is gorgeous. I found a editorial shot of Stella Tenant wearing a version of it that was shot by Karl himself. The hat is so dramatic and easy to wear. It is meant to sit lightly on the top of the head and then you can play with which direction you want the feathers to face. It can be worn with the feathers towards the front, either side, or to the back and sit as high or low as you want. This gives it so much versatility in styling it and the feel of it completely changes depends on how you place it on your head. It has its original attached comb in place. The feathers are full and glossy. It is stunning. Excellent condition

Secures to the head with a comb. The base is a black felt wool. Because of the half hat / cap design is should fit any size head. Each side of the triangle shape measures about 8" long.

Item# A339
