in an age where fashion houses relied heavily on history and house codes, john galliano took dior’s concepts of femininity and opulence and pushed them to the very edge of an unexpected, artfully-clad cliff. his runway shows weren’t presentations of clothing but rather elaborate and theatrical experiences similar to seeing a live play or going to the movies. 

the late 90s, early 2000s dress offered here is a more demure example of a classic galliano-dior silhouette-- bias cut with a long row of button closures down the side, 1930s-influenced and cut to hug and accentuate the curves of the female body. the checkered silk is lined in a silk chiffon crepe. the draped ruffle collar extends to a matching open back. the shape of the dress is especially beautiful in movement and would make a beautiful wedding or occasion dress. a great investment piece that will only go up in value.

in excellent condition, with no major flaws to note.
