Curator's Note

This vest and trouser suit is from Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2006 collection titled "Nude". The collection explored layering, transparency and nude tones, carried over from Galliano's Autumn/Winter couture show. The collection featured leather-accented tailoring in waistcoats, jackets, trench coats, and flared trousers shown as day looks against a spaghetti western-style soundtrack. This suit is made of black pinstripe wool with lambskin leather appliqué, a variant of the denim design seen on the runway.

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.
