This Alexander McQueen evening dress is featured in The Fashion & Textile History Gallery's current show at The Museum at FIT. Titled His and Hers, the show explores changing perceptions of "masculine" and "feminine" dress from the mid-18th century to the present. McQueen, of course, subverted gender codes in various ways. From his Fall 2008 collection, this dress consists of black leather, white silk and black tulle.
