Rare late 1990s–early 2000s Marc Jacobs gold metal-link vintage evening gown featuring a fluid cowl neckline and long, slinky column silhouette that skims the body like liquid metal. Crafted from a true metallic link textile (not standard lamé jersey), the dress catches the light from every angle, evoking iconic late-90s runway and red carpet glamour. Labeled Marc Jacobs, size 8. Unlined and semi-sheer due to the open metal-link construction. There are several areas of separation and loss within the links toward the lower skirt and hem (see close-up photos). Priced accordingly and ideal for collectors, stylists, designers, or anyone comfortable working with specialty textiles. Restoration / Styling Ideas (for buyers): • Have a skilled tailor or costume restorer re-link and stabilize damaged areas using fine wire or matching metallic thread from the reverse. • Shorten or create a high side slit to remove or disguise heavier damage at the hem while keeping the original column line. • Add a nude or tonal slip underneath for coverage and to support the metal links. • Embrace the existing flaws and intentionally distress further for an editorial, deconstructed look—very in line with late-90s / Y2K runway styling. A rare archival-worthy Marc Jacobs piece with incredible stage, red carpet, or editorial potential. ⸻ Size & Measurements Labeled Size: 8 Measurements: 38 inch bust 34 inch waist 42 inch hips 63 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem Key Features • Authentic Marc Jacobs main line, c. 1998–2002 • True gold metal-link textile with diagonal rib effect • Draped cowl neckline; sleek column silhouette • Semi-sheer, lightweight, high-impact shine • Visible link breaks and snags; priced for condition and restoration potential • Exceptional piece for collectors, stylists, or runway-inspired eveningwear ⸻ Marc Jacobs 90s gown, Marc Jacobs metal link dress, vintage Marc Jacobs...

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 This collector’s piece captures a defining moment in fashion history—McQueen’s last complete expression of his genius. It is both wearable art and museum-worthy couture.
