  • 1994 John Galliano Ruby Red Off Shoulder Bias-Cut Gown Worn by Raquel Welch

    ID: 0922241
    Size: small
    Condition: very good

     

    An ultra rare and totally breathtaking John Galliano ruby red bias-cut floor length gown dating back to his epic 1994 fall/winter "São Schlumberger" collection. John Galliano presented this career-making collection that fused the East and West of Japanese kimonos and glamorous 1940's-style tailoring. This is one of the most impactful, celebrated, and influential collections ever shown. As you can see, his own label mirrored his work at Christian Dior years later. These early documented examples of his work are very collectable and are becoming incredibly hard to find. What makes this dress even more special is that it was owned by superstar Raquel Welch. She wore this showstopper to the 'Commitment to Life' gala in Los Angeles where she gave a meaningful speech. This celebrity worn gown is everything you look for in archival Galliano fashion. The fabric itself is sensational; an ultra flattering mid-weight stretch viscose rayon that hugs the body perfectly. It's also in the sexiest ruby red color. I absolutely love the low plunge thin-strap slip bodice with draped front overlay. You can wear it on the shoulders or let it playfully fall down the arm. The sculpted star shaped bias cut panel skirting skims the hips while creating a stunning hourglass shape. An unforgettable, well-documented John Galliano look for any important gala or red carpet event.

    This archival 1994 John Galliano documented runway archival gown is in beautiful condition with no holes, rips or alternations. Slips on over the head with no additional closures. Only sign of wear is one thin, faint pen mark near the side bodice. Please message for detailed pictures. The success of the collection resulted in his later jobs at Givenchy and Christian Dior where his designs no doubt shaped the entire luxury fashion industry for over a decade. A wonderful investment piece that will only increase in value.
