An exceptionally rare runway piece from Dior by John Galliano’s theatrical Fall 2003 collection, this choker exemplifies his edgy romanticism. Crafted with a rigid metal band fully encrusted with shimmering Swarovski crystals, it features a single dangling faux piercing bead detail at the front—a subtle nod to punk and fetish influences that defined Galliano’s Dior era. Finished with a satin ribbon tie closure for an adjustable fit and maximum comfort.
Seen on the runway paired with the iconic Kabuki doll makeup and avant-garde silhouettes, this piece stands out as a collector’s jewel and a powerful styling accent.
