Curator's Note

The bias cut is one of the defining techniques of John Galliano's career, present in his collections from 1989 and fully established as his hallmark by his spring/summer 1994 Princess Lucretia collection. Galliano drew directly on the bias-cut eveningwear of the 1920s and 1930s as a primary reference, and on the work of Madeleine Vionnet in particular, whose mastery of the diagonal grain he consistently cited as an influence. The self-fabric buttons running along the side seam are a decorative detail characteristic of Galliano's bias-cut dresses and skirts.

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.
