Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) The Birds (Alexander McQueen collection)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) 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 dress is 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.

2) The dress was a haute couture one-off, not believed to be commercially mass-produced. It is not possible to simply purchase it to photograph it. 3) It is not known who currently owns the dress. It is not on permanent public display anywhere, so it is not possible to simply go to a museum 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.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
1) The dress 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) The photo is publicly and freely available on the Vogue website, and will only be a small low-quality copy of their much higher-quality original. It is only one of several dozen photos of the collection, so readers wishing to view the entire collection will click through to Vogue.
