Rare John Galliano Fall 2000 Dress

Exquisite and enchanting John Galliano white dress from Fall Winter 2000 collection. Its impeccable design features a divine cut that gracefully embraces the body, gently flaring at the hem while offering a delicate hint of translucence adorned with intricate details. The dress is adorned with appliquéd flowers, inspired by whimsical children's cartoons, delicately crafted onto a sheer tulle mesh. These floral appliqués serve as a delightful embodiment of the joyful spirit that defined John Galliano's Fall Winter 2000 collection, aptly named "Welcome to Our Playground," a realm where fashion whimsically echoed childhood's carefree essence.

This collection's underlying theme revolved around the notions of childhood, innocence, and the allure of dress-up, concepts that had also been explored in Galliano's earlier Fall Winter 1986 collection titled "Forgotten Innocents." Galliano himself expressed the desire to capture the essence of forgotten innocence, that fleeting moment preceding the surrender of independent thought—a juncture where personal decisions yield to external influence, as symbolized by the transition to formal schooling.

A reminiscent gown from Galliano Spring 1998 collection adorned the illustrious Cate Blanchett in 1999 during her inaugural appearance at the Oscars. Notably nominated for her lead role in "Elizabeth," Blanchett's choice of attire was nothing short of extraordinary. This dress, widely regarded as "the most fantastic Oscar dress ever" at the time, perfectly encapsulated the magnificence of the occasion.

Although the size indicated on the tag is Medium, it is recommended to consider the specific measurements to ensure a precise fit that does justice to the dress's exceptional design and the wearer's unique allure.

Condition: Very Good / Flaws: Stain next to one of the flower’s appliqué petal.
