Curator’s Note

This Christian Dior dress is by John Galliano, from Autumn/Winter 1997-1998, his debut ready-to-wear collection for the house. The collection was inspired by opium dens, Shanghai nightclubs, and 1950s babydoll silhouettes, with Chinese-influenced cheongsam-style pieces as a recurring theme through the show. This slip dress is cut in indigo-blue silk with a black lace bodice trim, fastened with a Galliano signature row of buttons along one side seam, and finished with a flared, bias-cut 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.
