Christian Dior by John Galliano S/S 1998 “In a Boudoir Mood” Cream Tweed Jacket

A rare and highly collectible piece from one of John Galliano’s most theatrical and influential seasons at the House of Dior. This jacket is from the iconic Spring/Summer 1998 “In a Boudoir Mood” collection, a runway celebrated for its fusion of Edwardian romance, lingerie-inspired detailing, and couture-level craftsmanship. Pieces from this era are coveted by collectors, museums, and stylists for their historical significance and unmistakable Galliano storytelling. Crafted in a soft cream tweed, the jacket features a dramatic lace-trimmed collar, lace and metallic cuff details, and an ornate cameo button closure—all signature elements of Galliano’s boudoir aesthetic. The silhouette is beautifully tailored with a cinched waist and sculpted hips, capturing the sensual drama that defined Dior in the late 1990s. Condition: Good vintage condition. Moderate yellowing at the interior lining (not visible when worn). Labeled FR42 (GB14 / D40 / USA10), runs small—best fits a modern FR38 / US 6. Measurements: shoulder 16" / 41 cm, bust 38" / 97 cm, waist 32" / 81 cm, length 21.5" / 55 cm, sleeve 21" / 53 cm.
