Size: small

Condition: excellent

An incredibly chic and highly coveted Christian Dior fully sequin iridescent ocean blue silk bias-cut slip gown 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 sheer blue silk chiffon with iridescent ocean blue sequins covering the entire gown. Talk about the perfect under-the-sea mermaid goddess vibe. As shown, he famously uses this gorgeous sequin effect throughout many garments in this collection but his slip dresses will always be a favorite. The effortless thin spaghetti-strap bodice mixed with the long super model length in this texture has such a captivating allure that I find irresistible. The 1930's inspired 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.
