Product Description
An exceptionally rare Christian Dior by John Galliano Archive Silk Halter Dress, showcasing the rebellious glamour that defined Galliano’s celebrated Dior years.
Crafted from fluid black silk, the dress features an elegant draped halter neckline contrasted by unmistakable punk-inspired detailing. Corset-style lace-up panels run along both hips using tonal Dior jacquard ribbon, creating a dramatic silhouette while introducing one of Galliano’s signature references to lingerie construction and historical tailoring.
One of the most distinctive details is the original aged silver Dior buckle, finished with a removable star charm pendant, an instantly recognizable Galliano-era hardware detail that has become increasingly sought after among archive collectors.
The softly draped neckline is balanced by delicate lace-trimmed inner panels, while the fluid silk falls naturally over the body, combining sensual elegance with an unmistakable rock-inspired attitude.
