  • 2008 John Galliano 'Grey Gardens' Collection Floral Silk High Low Bias-Cut Gown

    ID: 0831251
    Size: small
    Condition: excellent

    A totally breathtaking and highly coveted John Galliano watercolor floral print silk chiffon bias-cut gown dating back to his 2008 spring/summer 'Grey Gardens' collection. Multiple variations on this design appeared on the runway: the dress’s delicate, airy silhouette could be spotted on Denisa Dvorakova for Look 19, while the eye-catching print was evident on Anna Barsukova, who wore Look 20. The entire show, inspired by the cult documentary Grey Gardens, displayed Galliano’s tendency to take tried-and-true styles and give them a modern, playful spin. To quote Vogue, the show featured “reinterpretations of his classics—all the inimitably light-handed things he does with thirties bias cutting, frills, and printed chiffonery.” This luxurious lightweight ivory silk gown, adorned with a large-scale floral print in muted pink, blue, and chartreuse, is such a beautiful example of John Galliano's aesthetic. This dress comprises three distinct layers of fabric. An ivory-colored interior slip ensures modesty; then comes the sheer patterned silk that lends the gown its uniquely whimsical quality. The ivory-colored sheer exterior layer softens the hues of the floral print, creating a dreamy, romantic vibe. The chic covered buttons are a Galliano staple and we can't ignore the alluring sheer illusion backless design. The gown's flattering bias-cut silhouette will highlight your figure in all the right places. I especially love the tiered high-low hemline, which allows the skirt to flounce and sway with ethereal movement. This archival 2008 John Galliano gown is so incredibly special and would make an unforgettable summer soirée moment.
