Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Photo of a feathered bustier from the Alexander McQueen collection Taxi Driver (Autumn/Winter 1993).
Author or

Design: Alexander McQueen

Photographer: Daily Telegraph staff photographer

Source (WP:NFCC#4) Screenshot from Alexander McQueen: The Life and the Legacy, p 58
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This is one of the few known photos of any of the items from the Taxi Driver collection. The image illustrates the visual appearance of one of the most significant looks from the collection to the reader for identification and educational purposes.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
1) The entire collection, including this item, was lost immediately following the show. The photo is literally irreplaceable.

2) The bustier was a unique visual design. Any duplicate would be an obviously inferior knock-off, and using a photograph of one would be misleading to the reader.

Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This file will only be used in this article, and at a lower resolution than the original.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
1) The bustier itself is not commercially available, so a photo of it can't harm the McQueen label's ability to profit from the design. Even if it was, a simple photo can't replace the actual dress.

2) This photo is a small low-quality copy of the much higher-quality original. Without the accompanying text of the original Daily Telegraph article/the Alexander McQueen: The Life and the Legacy book, it has much less value. Both sources are cited in the article for readers to explore.
