Curator's Note

This dress is from John Galliano's "Haute Bohemia" collection. The 33-look show moved through several distinct phases, opening in white lingerie-weight knits referencing the 1930s, and moving through pink bias-cut gowns appliquéd with silk roses, brightly coloured pieces inspired by Dorothy Dandridge, and Central Asian ikat silks reinterpreted as bohemian kimono coats, before closing in black and gold with corsetry by Mr Pearl. This dress was seen on the runway in a chevron print, and on Cindy Crawford.

John Galliano

John Galliano graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1984 with Les Incroyables, a collection drawn from the French Revolution bought in its entirety by Browns. He moved to Paris in the early 1990s, staging shows in borrowed hôtels particuliers that attracted Princess Diana, Madonna and LVMH, leading to appointments at Givenchy in 1995 and Christian Dior in 1996. Under his own label he ran concurrently with both houses, his work was shaped by romantic storytelling, bias-cut construction and historical characters drawn from across cultures and centuries. He was named British Designer of the Year four times.
