Curator's Note
John Galliano presented his Spring/Summer 1998 ready-to-wear collection for Christian Dior, In a Boudoir Mood , at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. The show took place inside a recreation of a Belle Époque residence, with models moving between furnished salons, a boudoir and a music room with a grand piano. Galliano revisited the fashions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, incorporating lingerie-inspired details, lace and floral fabrics into his designs. Floral damask featured throughout the collection, appearing in both tailored jackets and dresses. This ensemble combines a fitted mint-coloured jacket with a grey slip dress, each woven with a tonal floral pattern. The jacket has ivory lace-covered lapels and a single ornamental buton set with small pearls. The matching floral motif continues across the dress, which has thin shoulder straps and a fitted cut. The jacket was presented on the runway with a different ivory ensemble, as documented in the original Spring/Summer 1998 show photography.
