ID: 0423241

Size: small

Condition: excellent

An absolutely breathtaking and highly coveted Christian Dior smoky taupe silk chiffon bias-cut gown dating back to John Galliano's epic 2006 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. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; luxurious sheer double-layered silk chiffon in the prettiest smoky taupe color. The front and back bodice scoop low with gorgeous ruffle-trimmed draping. The skirting in particular has complex tiered ruffle seamed pieces insanely hard to do on bias-cut fabric. This figure flattering garment accentuates the bust, skims the hip and flares out to the floor with beautiful movement. This is the dress you will reach for anytime you want to be noticed. A rare wearable piece of John Galliano fashion history.
