How can you tell if an Alexander McQueen dress is real?
1 Answer
To tell if an Alexander McQueen dress is real, look at the brand label tag inside the neck. Counterfeiters often make mistakes in copying the font style, character size and spacing. You can often spot fakes by comparing labels to images of authentic tags shared on trusted online resources. Next, look carefully at the seams along the hemline, sleeves, waist and other areas. Uneven, loose or misaligned stitching will usually indicate a replica. If you have any lingering doubts about the authenticity of your dress, consult a certified appraiser or expert authenticator.

Last Collection Alexander McQueen Angels and Demons 2010 Sz 8 Red Gold Dress
By Alexander McQueen
Located in San Diego, CA
A rare and historically significant piece from Alexander McQueen’s final and most hauntingly beautiful collection, “Angels and Demons” (Autumn/Winter 2010). Personally designed by McQueen himself before his passing, this dress embodies his masterful fusion of art, history, and provocation.
Size US 8, and crafted in rich crimson and metallic gold brocade, the design features opulent baroque motifs depicting ornate cherubs, vines, and birds—an intricate tapestry of life and mortality, characteristic of McQueen’s final artistic vision. The sculpted puff sleeves and sharp tailoring accentuate the silhouette, creating a perfect balance between strength and sensuality. Made in Italy
