| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | The Hunger (Alexander McQueen collection) |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image illustrates the visual appearance of one the most significant ensemble from the collection to the reader for identification and educational purposes. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
1) The ensemble 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 corset was a haute couture one-off, not commercially mass-produced. It is not possible to simply purchase it to photograph it. 3) The corset is privately held in the Alexander McQueen Archive. It is not on permanent public display anywhere, so it is not possible to simply go to a museum and photograph it. 4) This image cannot be replaced with another image depicting another item from the same collection, because each item in the collection is a different item. File:The Hunger bodysuit at Savage Beauty by Alexander McQueen.jpg is not equivalent to this image, because it is an image of another item entirely. |
| 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 corset 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 corset.
2) The photo is publicly and freely available on the Met Museum's website, and will only be a small low-quality copy of their much higher-quality original. It is only one of several dozen photos from the Savage Beauty exhibition, so readers wishing to view the entire collection will click through to the Met's exhibition website. |
