John Galliano Black Crêpe Bias-Cut Dress with Floral Appliqué (c. 2001)
Curator’s Note
The bias cut is one of the defining techniques of John Galliano's career, present in his collections from 1989 and fully established as his hallmark by his spring/summer 1994 Princess Lucretia collection. Galliano drew directly on the bias-cut eveningwear of the 1920s and 1930s as a primary reference, and on the work of Madeleine Vionnet in particular, whose mastery of the diagonal grain he consistently cited as an influence. This dress is cut in black crêpe on the bias, with a cowl neckline and spaghetti straps. There is a red tulle and black silk floral appliqué with trailing satin ribbon ties. The skirt is finished with a side slit.
