ID: 0702253

Size: small

Condition: excellent

A truly sensual and highly coveted John Galliano well-documented liquid ice blue bias-cut trained gown dating back to his epic 1997 fall-winter collection. This gorgeous dream dress was look number 27 modeled by the beautiful Elsa Benitez. As shown, it was also featured in the September 1997 Issue of Vogue, photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Vogue described this collection as “Outlandish! Unreal!” stating, “Why make clothes no one can wear? Because the best ideas are born from extreme!” By this time Galliano was well known for his paradoxical pairing, which was evident in this grand Ancient Egypt meets Hollywood inspired show. 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 on this masterpiece is incredible; made from the softest satin viscose in a dreamy ice blue hue. The plunging v-neckline is ultra sexy, highlighting the décolletage perfectly. The ultra flattering bias-cut hugs the natural curves of the body. My favorite part has to be that low-scoop backless design which melts into a fluid train. This archival John Galliano gown is so incredibly rare and would make an unforgettable red carpet or bridal look.
