Rare early-2000s Alexander McQueen leather jacket in vivid lacquered red.
A particularly striking archival piece with an intensely fitted, sculpted silhouette and exaggerated military/biker-inspired construction. The jacket features a sharply pointed oversized collar, pronounced shoulders with epaulettes, asymmetric double-breasted front construction, tonal buttons, elongated sleeves with articulated cuff panels, and a strongly shaped waist that flares subtly toward the hem.
The glossy red leather gives the piece an almost wet-look finish, while the close tailoring creates the highly controlled, body-conscious silhouette characteristic of McQueen's early-2000s work.
