Dior, auction with 500 rare creations made by ex-creative director John Galliano

The most glamorous auction of recent times is expected tomorrow at 14:00, on the Cornette de Saint Cyr website.

«Christian Dior & John Galliano: 15 ans de creations» will be a last-click competition, with a lot of clothes designed by the ex creative director, in the period 1995-2011. Many of these have been sold by private Russian collectors and will range from a base price of €100 to around € 6,000 for the most unique and unrepeatable creations. For instance, the saddle bags with graffiti and studs, belts with CD logo, printed dresses with a punk-rock soul or the Lady Dior bag, priced at 800€.

The Galliano-Dior bond broke up in 2011. The reason, which echoed in the fashion system for some years, was the utterance of racist and anti-Semitic phrases that cost him a career of great success in time. John Galliano returned to the scene in 2014 with a “surprise” creative direction from Maison Margiela, a role obtained thanks to the trust that Renzo Rosso, owner of the group Obt, has always had in him for his brilliant and out of the ordinary attitude. For now, the successes with Margiela are skyrocketing and this direction seems to fit perfectly, thanks to the visionary approach to fashion that she shares with founder Martin.

Dior, as the designer has always said, was a triumphal chapter, but too remote from his inspiration. Then, eyes on the catalog tomorrow, as it will certainly be a more unique than rare moment, even if only to relive that turn of the century fashion signed by Galliano, which, in the fashion scene, is truly a milestone.
