A rare runway piece from Christian Dior by John Galliano Fall 2000 Ready-to-Wear, this oversized knitted cardigan is an iconic example of Galliano’s signature knitwear silhouettes of the era. Crafted in a heavy cable knit wool blend with playful pom-pom textures, it features soft blush-toned silk satin inserts on the sleeves. The cardigan’s asymmetrical cut and dramatic volume reflect Galliano’s unique interplay of romanticism and deconstruction, while maintaining a wearable coziness.
This particular cardigan is identical to the version shown on the Fall 2000 runway, and similar knitwear styles were also highlighted in Dior Haute Couture Fall 2000. A true archival piece that bridges comfort with couture-level detail.
