A sensual and ethereal slip dress by John Galliano for Christian Dior, crafted in sheer black silk with delicate lace accents. The bodice features fine embroidered lace with star motifs and a satin appliqué detail, while the bias-cut body drapes fluidly along the figure, creating Galliano’s signature languid silhouette. The hemline is finished with sheer printed lace borders that add depth and a whisper of Gothic romanticism. Designed with thin straps and a floor-length cut, this piece captures the house’s intoxicating blend of elegance and seduction under Galliano’s direction.
