Product Description:

A highly rare archive piece from the John Galliano era at Christian Dior, capturing the designer’s signature fusion of romanticism, sensuality, and experimental construction.

Crafted from soft washed cotton denim in a muted light blue tone, these pants feature an elongated silhouette enhanced by intricate lace-up paneling running along both legs. The adjustable tie details at the knees allow for customizable shaping — subtly transforming the silhouette between relaxed and sculpted.

This design reflects Galliano’s fascination with deconstruction and body movement, where utilitarian denim is elevated through corsetry-inspired elements. The braided lace detailing introduces a delicate contrast to the structured base, creating a balance between femininity and edge.

Pieces from this era — particularly those incorporating lace-up construction — are increasingly difficult to source, especially in this condition and size. A true collector’s item that embodies early 2000s Dior runway energy.
