Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image illustrates the visual appearance of a look from the collection as it was presented on the runway, for identification and educational purposes.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
1) The dress is a unique visual design. Any duplicate dress would be an obviously inferior knock-off, and using a photograph of one would be misleading to the reader.

2) Any duplicate dress would also also lack unique historical context of the runway presentation. 3) The dress was a handmade one-off, never commercially mass-produced. It is not possible to simply purchase it to photograph it. 4) The status of the dress is unknown. It may be lost or destroyed like many early McQueen pieces. It may be held by the McQueen archive, a private archive, or a museum, but not publicly acknowledged. It is not on permanent public display anywhere, so it is not possible to simply go and photograph it.

Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This file will only be used in this article, and at a lower resolution than the original photo.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
1) The dress itself is not (and was never) 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 ensemble.

2) The photo is publicly and freely available on the book publisher's website as promotional material for the book, the title and photographer of which will be mentioned in the caption.
