Christian Dior John Galliano F/W 2005 Purple Devore Velvet Evening Dress Gown

This Christian Dior evening gown by John Galliano, from the Autumn-Winter 2005-2006 ‘Off-Duty Icon’ collection, is crafted from a rich purple devoré velvet that captures the dramatic sensuality of Galliano’s vision for Dior. The dress features a slinky, bias-cut silhouette that clings to the body and flows into a gently flared hem. A draped cowl neckline softens the front, while the back plunges deeply, adding an element of dark romanticism. The side is finished with a trail of matching velvet-covered buttons, emphasizing the gown’s sculptural fit. Throughout the fabric, the devoré technique creates a striking interplay of matte and lustrous textures, evoking both decadence and movement. In good condition with few flaws to note: one small spot, black lace was added at the back and hem, size/composition label is missing. Approximately FR38/40, please use measurements as a guide: bust 38", waist 32", hips 42", length 62".
