From Dior’s Fall/Winter 2004 runway, this extraordinary black fox-tailed stole epitomises Galliano’s love of cinematic drama. Vast in scale and sumptuous in texture, it drapes the body with a theatrical intensity worthy of a film noir heroine — the kind of accessory designed not merely to be worn, but to command attention. The plush, oversized tails cascade in inky black, catching the light with every movement.

Galliano understands the power of exaggeration, and here he amplifies the classic fur stole into an operatic statement piece. Worn over eveningwear, it conjures the decadent glamour of Old Hollywood; paired unexpectedly, it becomes a subversive gesture of confidence and command. A rare, runway-level piece, it is both couture theatre and wearable fantasy — pure Galliano at his most unapologetically bold.
