ID: 0329243

Size: small

Condition: excellent

An absolutely sensational and highly coveted John Galliano vibrant coral pink silk chiffon bias-cut trained gown dating back to his 2008 spring/summer collection. These early examples of his work are very collectable and are becoming incredibly hard to find. As you can see his own label mirrored his work at Christian Dior during the same time. 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 John Galliano fashion. The fabric itself is magnificent; a luxurious semi-sheer 'light as a feather' layered silk chiffon in the prettiest coral pink color. The bodice has a gorgeous draped front plunge that flows into an low-cut backless design. Little ruffles carefully placed throughout the gown give the dress such gorgeous depth and texture. I especially love the side covered buttons which is definitely a nod to 1930's fashion. The sculpted bias-cut skirting skims the hips while creating a stunning tiered hourglass shape. Just look at the way it cascades to the floor with an epic scalloped train! This is that unforgettable red carpet or wedding guest look every fashionista searches for. A rare wearable piece of John Galliano fashion history.
