Curator's Note

John Galliano’s tenure at Dior was defined in part by his return to the bias cut, a technique he used repeatedly to achieve the fluid, body-following silhouette seen here. This gown combines black silk satin cut on the diagonal with asymmetrical lace panels and the self-covered button closure that recurs throughout his work for the house. This piece was worn by Kim Kardashian in 2025.

Description

  • Bias-cut black silk satin gown with asymmetrical panels of semi-sheer lace
  • Cowl neckline with spaghetti straps
  • Diagonal bands of satin and lace radiating from the left side
  • Sheer lace godet insert at the side of the skirt
  • Signature Galliano self-covered button closure along the left side
  • Floor-length hem with a soft flare following the natural drape of the bias cut

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.
