An incredibly chic and ultra rare Christian Dior plum purple silk asymmetric draped gown from John Galliano's highly acclaimed 2000 spring-summer collection. 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 fabrics used are glorious; luxurious mid-weight silk satin with a slight stretch so it molds to the body perfectly mixed with delicate sheer chiffon. The thin-strap asymmetric one-sleeve design reads so ethereal and works really well with the low-cut front design. The skillfully gathered cummerbund and side covered-cottons are really such lovely details. The flattering bias-cut shape flows into the most epic side draped-loop construction. This emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. Such a Grecian goddess vibe! This is the type of dress you will reach for anytime you want to be noticed. A rare wearable piece of John Galliano fashion history.
