Christian Dior by John Galliano FW2010 Silk Slip Dress – Violet

Size FR 36 (fits US S, please refer to measurements)

A rare Christian Dior slip dress from the Fall/Winter 2010 collection by John Galliano, representing the final chapter of one of fashion’s most celebrated creative partnerships. Elegant, sensual, and impeccably crafted, the piece perfectly embodies Galliano’s signature ability to reinterpret lingerie-inspired silhouettes through the lens of haute couture.

Crafted from fluid violet silk satin, the dress is cut on the bias to skim the body with effortless movement. An asymmetric neckline, formed by a delicate spaghetti strap on one side and a softly draped wider strap on the other, creates an elegant imbalance that enhances the fluidity of the silhouette while framing the shoulders with understated sophistication.

The bodice is richly detailed with black floral lace, meticulously hand-embellished with jet sequins and black pearl beads that introduce texture, depth, and subtle luminosity. This couture-inspired embroidery contrasts beautifully against the luminous silk, echoing the refined sensuality that defined Galliano’s vision for Dior.

A row of delicate silk-covered buttons traces one side seam from the underarm to the hip, a purely decorative detail showcasing the exceptional level of craftsmanship throughout the garment. The hem is finished with scalloped black lace that subtly peeks beneath the satin, reinforcing the lingerie references while maintaining an elegant, understated finish.

Romantic, feminine, and unmistakably Dior, the dress captures the effortless glamour and meticulous construction that made John Galliano’s tenure at the house one of the most influential in modern fashion.

A beautiful archival evening piece from the final Dior collection designed by John Galliano.
