Curator's Note
From John Galliano's Cruise 2008 collection for Christian Dior, this ivory cotton jacket is a production sample. The silhouette references Dior's founding Bar jacket with a shaped waist and subtle flared hem, rendered here in a fine piqué weave cotton rather than the Bar's traditional wool.

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.
