A highly coveted and totally ethereal Christian Dior pearly pink silk chiffon bias-cut dress from John Galliano's celebrated 2004 spring-summer collection. This really is a perfect example of his genius. Vogue states that John Galliano didn't go on one of his extensive research trips to come up with the Christian Dior concept for spring but perhaps he just popped across Paris to an exhibition of Marlene Dietrich's clothes that ran this summer. Galliano explains, "It was Marlene but then I thought, who would she be today? Marianne Faithfull, Janis Joplin, Courtney Love, Patti Smith!" John Galliano is widely considered one of the most innovative and influential fashion designers of the early twenty-first century. He mingled his references in often surprising juxtapositions to create extravagant yet intricately engineered and meticulously tailored clothes. The fabric used to create this dress is heavenly; luxurious light-weight duel layered silk chiffon in the prettiest pearly pink color. The front and back bodice have a v-neck plunge with intricate stitching. I love the sensual bias-cut silhouette mixed with the tiered-ruffle skirting. This design emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. An ultra rare Christian Dior in the prettiest pink color.
