This extraordinary John Galliano 2006 spring/summer ivory tiered ruffle silk-chiffon slip gown is our idea of bridal perfection. Titled “Every Body Is Beautiful,” this collection was modeled by a mosaic of people. Galliano is the number one designer we're asked for when it comes to bridal. This rare beauty is a gorgeous example of everything we adore about his work, combining delicate femininity with a little unexpected drama. Early Galliano gowns are becoming increasingly difficult to find and this one is so epic. 

Fashioned from semi-sheer ivory silk chiffon with a matching inner slip, the gown has a bias-cut silhouette that skims the figure before gently flaring toward the hem. Of course, the real magic is in those ethereal ruffles! Sweeping and intersecting diagonally across the entire dress, overlapping tiers of lighty textured chiffon create a wonderful sense of movement, with softly rippling edges that almost resemble flower petals. We especially love how Galliano leaves sections of fabric exposed, giving the elaborate design a sense of lightness. A horizontally ruched band wraps around the lower hips, accentuating the figure before the skirt opens into more cascading tiers. The bodice features a softly scooped neckline supported by thin twisted straps delicately worked with tiny pearl colored beads. And naturally, no Galliano creation would be complete without one of his signature row of covered buttons running along the side. The back mirrors the front with its angled embellishments, continuing down into a subtle train that trails behind you.

There is something so special about an archival Galliano gown that manages to feel both wonderfully romantic and completely fashion-forward. Imagine this beauty floating down the aisle, or styled for an ultra chic red-carpet moment. Whether you're a bride searching for something far beyond the ordinary or a collector who appreciates John Galliano's genius, this is one of those gowns you won't soon forget. 

This rare 2006 s/s John Galliano ivory silk chiffon gown is in beautiful condition with no noticeable holes, rips or discoloration. The garment closes with a hidden zipper and is fully lined in matching silk. Highly wearable and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value.
