CHRISTIAN DIOR by John Galliano Spring 2001 Vintage Silk Lamé Brocade Zippered Evening Dress

This rare and incredibly glamorous Christian Dior by John Galliano Spring 2001 evening dress is made of fine burgundy silk crepe chiffon, opulently shot with gold-tone metallic threads that form an ornamental pattern. This bias cut dress is a classic Galliano design, sensual and sexy, with a plunging waterfall neckline and a floor-length skirt. What makes this dress stand out is the metallic gold faux leather reptile print zipper that runs from the bottom to the top of the dress, serving as a shoulder strap and merging into two ribbons that tie into a bow that sits at the top of the shoulder. It's a two-way zipper with large signature tags that can be pulled as desired, revealing as much skin as would like. Made in France.
