Cruise 2011 Christian Dior by John Galliano Runway Look 43 Pink Silk Chiffon Dress

  • Its twin walked the runway for Look 43 for the Cruise 2011 Dior show. 
  • Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
  • The show was shown in Shanghai that season and Galliano chose not to do very specific references to Shanghai. He said at the time that he was more trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday" which was what he said he felt happening in Shanghai at that time.
  • This was an outstanding look in the show and was one in a series of the closing looks.
  • The dress is made of a deep muted pink silk chiffon and has nod to the 1960s in its design.
  • A layer of silk chiffon that is heavily detailed with hand, beading, sequins and prong set pink rhinestones floats over a inner more fitted silk interior. The neckline is scooped wide across and then the back dips into a shallow V.
  • The sleeves are a single layer of the chiffon and flare out at their ends. They are detailed all the way down to match the bodice.
  • The interior dress closes with a hidden side set zipper and then the silk top layer that floats over it snaps along the edge of the waist at the back. A little strap floats across to connect the two sides and there is a highly detailed bow that sits off side at the back topping a gathering f the silk in the skirt.
  • Another highly detailed bow sits at the centre of the front waist and I love how these two bows give the dress such a feminine and romantic touch.
  • The dress falls from there to the floor with a top layer of chiffon floating over an inner silk skirt. It widen out just a touch at the hem.
  • The inner silk portion of the dress has its own lining of a matching silk.
  • The pink is a slightly different shade in person than how it photoed
  • There is no size tag present so please reference the measurements below. It is slim fitting through the hips.
