Grinling Gibbons (1648 – 1721) was an English sculptor and wood carver known for his work in England, including Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral and other London churches, Trinity College Oxford and Trinity College Cambridge.  Most of his work is in wood, especially decorative Baroque garlands made up of still-life elements at about life size, made to frame mirrors and decorate the walls of churches and palaces. Alexander McQueen was influenced by Grinling Gibbons, especially in his last collection that included dresses that reproduced carved effects, a motif posthumously printed onto De Manta handbags, and thigh-high boots with carved heels.

This listing is for a pair of leggings by Alexander McQueen from the A/W 2010 'Angels & Demons' collection, featuring an intricate Grinling Gibbons motif print in a wool-silk knit construction with signature McQueen skulls.
