Curator’s Note

This dress was designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection Tough Chic. In Galliano: Spectacular Fashion, Kerry Taylor notes that “elements were taken from the couture New Glamour collection and refined for the mass market,” with Galliano adapting ideas from the couture collection into shorter, more wearable ready-to-wear pieces. The same bondage and military references run through the collection, with utility straps, D-rings, rhinestone buckles and cargo details. This dress uses many of the same details. It is made from layers of shredded knit, with crossed webbing straps and D-ring buckles at the waist, and ruffled hem.

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.
