FW1997 'It's a Jungle Out There' Skirt & Jacket Suit Set

For the Fall 1997 show McQueen produced a set whose backdrop was wrecked cars and corrugated iron screens that were made to look like they were full of bullet holes, all inspired by a scene from "The Eyes of Laura Mars". McQueen played tribute to nature in this collection. The pieces made of this Prince of Wales checked fabric were the softer elements in the show with their pastel embroideries and pink linings. There was a series of pieces for Looks 42, 43 and 44 that use this fabric and embroidery combination in various designs. On the runway, this jacket was shown for Look 42 with pants. The skirt added here was part of the ready-to-wear offering for this collection. A must-have for any serious McQueen collector! The set is overall in great condition. On the inside of the jacket there is some yellowing in the lining. Pictures of these defects have been added to the listing for reference. The jacket and skirt are a size IT44, but as with older McQueen items, the items fit quite small. Measurements can be provided when necessary. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
