1999 Christian Dior by John Galliano Wine Red Wool Knit Shawl-Collar Sweater Coat

ID: 1003242

Size: small

Condition: excellent

An incredibly rare and absolutely gorgeous Christian Dior wine red ultra soft wool knit shawl-collar sweater jacket dating back to John Galliano's beloved 1999 fall/winter runway collection. This dramatic showstopper, modeled by the beautiful Angela Lindvall, combines the comfort of a cardigan sweater with the opulence of an opera cocoon coat. These early examples of John Galliano's work at Christian Dior are extremely collectable and are becoming so hard to find. 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 sweater coat is fashioned in a luxurious mid-weight wine red wool knit with three-dimensional pom-pom detailing. I love the bold over-sized shawl collar and front pockets. This is that versatile, important archival piece every fashionista looks for. Perfect with a slip dress, slacks or nothing underneath. A rare wearable piece of fashion history.
