An incredibly chic and highly coveted Christian Dior nude illusion floral lace lingerie gown from John Galliano's stunning 2006 spring-summer collection. This collection focused on bringing what’s underneath to the surface. He printed corsets, subverted lingerie, and beautifully embroidered nude dresses, all with the purpose of not just alluding to what lies beneath the clothes, but to bring it front and center with the caliber of elevation characteristic. As shown, the beautiful Zofia Borucka wore the same gown to the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. 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. It is fashioned in a luxurious silk-lined floral motif lace all in the most perfect nude hue. The thin slip-straps and side covered buttons are really lovely details. Such a nod to 1930's fashion. The flattering bias-cut shape flows into an epic side-slit floor length trained skirt. This construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. The hidden finger loop is so convenient as well! A rare wearable piece of John Galliano fashion history perfect for any wedding or red carpet.
