Kate Moss's Cigarette Burns Add Value to McQueen Suit
13 Feb
Summary
- A white Gucci suit by Alexander McQueen is up for auction.
- Cigarette burns on the suit were made by Kate Moss.
- The damaged suit is estimated to sell for £3,000.
A notable white Gucci suit, designed by Alexander McQueen, is slated for auction with an estimated value of £3,000. This ensemble holds a unique history, having been worn by McQueen at significant events, including the 2003 New York Fashion Awards.
What makes this item particularly intriguing are the cigarette burns on its left sleeve, a contribution from supermodel Kate Moss. Auction house representatives view these imperfections not as damage, but as part of the suit's compelling story, offering insight into McQueen's life.
McQueen, who passed away in 2010, had a close relationship with Moss. The suit was also seen at his 2004 Pantheon Ad Lucem show in Paris, where Moss was photographed with him backstage. The auction anticipates strong collector interest in this historically significant and conversation-starting piece.
