A simply stunning and highly coveted Christian Dior colorful tie-dye floral print silk bias-cut dress. This rare Christian Dior treasure from John Galliano's impressive 2005 spring-summer collection is a perfect example of his genius. 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. This dress is everything you look for in Galliano era Dior! The fabric itself is a masterpiece; his iconic vibrant psychedelic floral print on buttery smooth silk. The thin-strap low plunge draped bodice is ultra alluring. There is a seductive side slit that gives a flash of leg when you walk. The flattering bias-cut emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. I think this would be such a beautiful resort or wedding guest look. As shown, both Alek Wek attending the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum's Young Collectors Council Artists Ball hosted by Dior, and Riley Keough with John Galliano at the fall-winter haute couture Dior runway show were photographed in the same print. This dress really is a rare wearable piece of fashion history.
