Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image illustrates the visual appearance of the most significant look from the collection to the reader for identification and educational purposes.

(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, never commercially mass-produced. It is not possible to simply purchase it to photograph it. 3) The dress is held by the McQueen archive privately. 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 (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 last museum exhibition the dress appeared in closed in 2015. The use of the photo cannot detract from ticket sales for a long-closed exhibit. 3) The photo is publicly and freely available on the magazine's website.
