An extraordinary embroidered patchwork jacket from Christian Dior by John Galliano’s Fall/Winter 2001 runway collection, a season defined by its poetic fusion of global craft, bohemian sensuality, and haute couture precision.
Crafted in multicolour silk twill, the piece showcases a kaleidoscope of ikat-inspired prints in vivid jewel tones of green, yellow, purple, and pink, intricately overlaid with geometric floral embroidery and mirrored bud details that shimmer with movement. The plunging neckline and rear peplum hem add Galliano’s signature drama, while the trio of ties fasten the piece with an artisanal touch.

Galliano’s Fall 2001 collection drew from his fascination with nomadic traditions and historical textiles — a romantic dialogue between East and West that reimagined the Dior woman as a modern-day traveller and storyteller.

Here, the top is paired with a floor-length sheer tulle skirt edged in bespoke lace trim and black satin ruffled waistband featuring 2 silver Dior buttons overall capturing Galliano’s mastery in layering texture, craft, and fantasy into wearable art.
