Curator's Note
One of the most recognisable pieces from Galliano's SS 1998 "In a Boudoir Mood" collection for Dior, modelled on the runway by Amber Valletta. The dusky lilac silk damask beneath asymmetrically pieced chiffon panels, hourglass silhouette and extended train defined the visual language of Galliano's early Dior years. A rare original sample piece from the show.

John Galliano for Christian Dior
John Galliano was appointed creative director of Christian Dior in 1996, bringing fifteen years of theatrical, historically driven collections to the house. His references ranged across Marchesa Casati, Egyptian antiquity, the Belle Époque, Japanese geisha culture and the Parisian demi-monde, each season staged as a full narrative. Under his direction Dior tripled its turnover and produced some of the most collected ready-to-wear and haute couture of the era, including the iconic Saddle Bag.
