Curator's Note

From John Galliano's own label, dating to around 2005. The blue silk and sheer overlay with pastel bead embroidery, cascading seed bead fringe and pale pink chiffon godet panels is characteristic of Galliano's eponymous line at this period - the maximalism of his Dior work distilled into something more intimate.

John Galliano

John Galliano graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1984 with Les Incroyables, a collection drawn from the French Revolution bought in its entirety by Browns. He moved to Paris in the early 1990s, staging shows in borrowed hôtels particuliers that attracted Princess Diana, Madonna and LVMH, leading to appointments at Givenchy in 1995 and Christian Dior in 1996. Under his own label he ran concurrently with both houses, his work was shaped by romantic storytelling, bias-cut construction and historical characters drawn from across cultures and centuries. He was named British Designer of the Year four times.
