Curator's Note

Galliano presented Dior's Resort collection in New York in 2006, the first time the house showed its resort line in the city. Evening pieces in the collection were defined by elaborate cutting and draping rather than embellishment, very much like this dress (even though it didn't appear on the runway). Its bodice is made of two panels that cross over at the front, with fabric drawn diagonally across the torso. The skirt has a front kick split, and the low back has two adjustable criss-cross straps.

Description

  • Fine adjustable spaghetti straps, crossing at the back through gold-tone rings
  • Cross-over wrap bodice
  • Ruched draping through the body
  • Centre-front kick split

Size and Measurements

  • Labelled size FR 38 (Please refer to measurements for accurate fit)
  • Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat:
    • Chest: 38cm
    • Waist: 33cm
    • Hips: 40cm
    • Length: 150cm

Very good

This has been well-preserved. Any imperfections are negligible and do not detract from the item's overall appearance or functionality.

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.
