Complex garment patterns emerge in McQueen’s dress designs, informed both by his training and his tactile sensitivity to cloth. This grouping of dresses made after McQueen’s appointment to Givenchy attest to his skills in lightness acquired while at the couture house. Draping forms the basis of a pink dress from Irere (Spring/Summer 2003), while a black dress with insets and godets from Pantheon ad Lucem (Fall/Winter 2004–5) and a lace look from the pre–Fall/Winter 2007–8 collection demonstrate his proficiency in generating sinuous movement around the body.
