An incredibly chic and highly coveted Christian Dior pink plaid silk bias-cut dress dating back to John Galliano's highly acclaimed 2000 fall-winter collection. Vogue stated about the collection, "After the furor over his last Dior hobo couture collection, designer John Galliano crowded the mirrored runway with throwaway luxe outfits that took a leaf—make that a volume or two—from the opulent style manuals of the contemporary rap world" and our dress definitely embodies this luxurious vibe. 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 slip dress is everything you look for in Galliano era Dior. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; double layered silk in the prettiest pale pink plaid pattern. My favorite design element is the over-sized CD gold hardware straps. As shown, he famously uses this epic detail throughout many garments in the collection. The effortless bias-cut construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. You will reach for this Dior masterpiece anytime you want to look sensational. A rare wearable piece of John Galliano fashion history now at Timeless Vixen!
