Christian Dior by John Galliano Black Knit Evening Ensemble (Spring/Summer 1999)
A unique two-piece inky black knit evening ensemble from Christian Dior by John Galliano, Spring/Summer 1999, comprising a floor-length skirt and matching long-sleeve cardigan. The look captures Galliano’s late-’90s vision of sensual futurism meeting classic Dior refinement.
Knitted from coated yarn to achieve a striking ‘wet look’ sheen, this ensemble plays with texture and silhouette, reflecting Galliano’s fascination with the body and movement. Intricate openwork patterns add both structure and allure, balancing couture craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation.
This collection showcases Galliano’s ability to reinterpret Christian Dior’s historic femininity through a Y2K lens, blending the house’s timeless elegance with a daring, hyper-modern edge. A rare and collectible example of Galliano’s mastery in merging heritage and provocation.
