Product Description:

A rare and highly collectible Christian Dior by John Galliano skirt from the Fall/Winter 2000 runway collection — a defining era where Galliano pushed Dior into a bold, hyper-sensual and unapologetically provocative direction.

This piece features an all-over distressed leopard print, blending raw animal instinct with refined couture construction. The silhouette is sharply tailored with a structured waist and clean lines, while the full-length front zip closure adds both functionality and a striking visual focal point — a signature detail seen throughout Galliano’s early 2000s Dior collections.

Accented with multiple zipper pockets and iconic Dior “D” hardware pulls, the design merges utility with luxury, reinforcing the era’s fusion of fetishwear, safari influences, and Parisian couture. The interior is fully lined in luminous silk, offering both comfort and a hidden layer of indulgence.

Documented on the runway, this skirt forms part of a complete look styled with matching leopard elements, embodying Galliano’s vision of empowered, seductive femininity. Pieces from this specific period are increasingly rare on the market, especially in such well-preserved condition.

A statement archive garment — equally suited for collectors, stylists, or those seeking a powerful vintage Dior piece with runway provenance.
