Alexander McQueen's "Plato's Atlantis" ensemble, worn by Naomi Campbell, sold for $1.6 million at Fair Warning's couture auction. The same sale also set new price records for Saint Laurent and Alaïa, putting three storied houses over their previous highs in one outing. For a look most people know only from runway footage and magazine pages, a number like that turns fashion history into hard market value.

With reporting from Harper's Bazaar.
