The Dress

It takes a lot to leave us in awe, having seen, handled and lusted after the finest furs, handbags and couture from legendary houses. Such one offs command a bidding war, and this battle was held in the court of the finest fashion auctioneer in London if not the world. Kerry Taylor.

Part of the Jackariaeh Francis collection, the Dior Daily Newspaper print dress was estimated at £20,000-£25,000 at auction, reaching a staggering £68,200 the pure might of vintage investment has been made clear.

A homage to street style grit, the contemporary career woman and the glamour of the city graft, the Fly Girl collection by John Galliano for Dior has haunted the minds of any fashion conscious collector since its inception in the AW 2000-2001 collection where it debuted.

Rising to must have status through its iconic feature in Sex and the City, this particular dress is the holy grail along with the saddle bags of the same print. Parisian Sweet has had the pleasure of handling many Dior pieces in this trailblazing print, our current sale features two leather bracelets, a denim cropped jacket and blazer crafted from the same family,

Rarely do such pieces appear in such abundance, so we do encourage a decisive attitude when it comes to owning such instantly recognisable icons which rival the all stars of Christian Dior’s incredibly fashion pedigree.
