Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2006 Runway White Bubble Draped Dress

Runway style from Alexander McQueen’s Spring Summer 2006 collection Neptune: a white mini dress cut in the same draped silhouette shown on the Paris runway in dove grey. Soft folds wrap an off-the-shoulder cowl neckline, three-quarter sleeves skim the arms, and a wrapped, ruched midsection cinches into a short bubble hem—classical drapery held to McQueen’s precise body line.

The piece sits in Neptune’s second phase, when the show turned toward white, green, and gold and McQueen spoke of Greek goddesses for evening. Volume gathers through the wrap and releases into the bubble skirt, so the dress reads as modern goddess dressing rather than costume: bare legs, controlled volume, and the season’s short, glamorous hem.
