Couldn't load pickup availability
A striking piece from Christian Dior Fall 2006, designed during John Galliano’s celebrated era at the house. The design echoes one of the collection’s most memorable runway looks — a dramatic long red silk dress featuring sculptural ruffled volume and fluid draping.
This version translates that runway aesthetic into a more wearable silhouette while preserving the signature Galliano drama.
Crafted from luxurious silk in a soft light beige-grey tone with a subtle tonal floral motif, the dress features an elegantly draped bodice with layered scarf-like panels that wrap across the neckline and torso. The skirt is finished with large sculptural ruffles that are lightly waxed, allowing them to hold their shape and create the architectural movement associated with the Fall 2006 runway pieces.
The silhouette has a straight, relaxed cut rather than a body-hugging fit, allowing the silk to drape fluidly while the voluminous ruffled hem adds dramatic dimension.
This example is new with original tags still attached, including the original boutique price tag of €4,110. Adjusted for inflation, this would correspond to approximately €6,300 in today’s terms, highlighting the luxury positioning of the piece when it was first released.
A rare opportunity to acquire a pristine Galliano-era Dior dress with original retail tags intact.
