Size: small

Condition: excellent

We are thrilled to offer this truly breathtaking and highly coveted Christian Dior by John Galliano dark brown laser-cut suede and sheer black chantilly lace bias-cut gown with matching over-sized shawl. This stunning documented runway dress from his epic 1999 fall-winter collection is a perfect example of why 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 gown is everything you look for in Galliano era Dior! We loved finding a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow in same dress with Galliano himself. I love the high quality dark brown laser-cut lined sheer illusion suede mixed with the delicate black chantilly-lace. The seductive low-cut plunge bodice has a lingerie vibe that I find irresistible. The flattering bias-cut shape flows into a stunning skirted flounce. This construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. The matching over-sized shawl is a statement piece in it's own right. This is the look you will reach for anytime you want to be noticed. A rare wearable piece of archival fashion history.
