Christian Dior x John Galliano Era S/S 1999 Black Lace Detail Gown

From John Galliano’s most theatrically charged years at Christian Dior, this incredible piece is from his Spring/Summer 1999 collection explored Victorian romanticism and fin-de-siècle glamour that became a template for the decade that followed. Cut floor-length from fluid black crepe on the bias, the gown hangs from slim spaghetti straps with a deep V neckline and a body-skimming silhouette. A high side split reveals a dramatic panel of intricate black lace that catches and swirls with every step, almost invisible from the front, theatrical in motion. A rare and collectable piece from John Galliano's golden era at the house.
