GIVENCHY COUTURE By JOHN GALLIANO F/W 1996 Rare Runway Pinstripe Bow Dress
By John Galliano, Givenchy
Located in Berlin, BE
Givenchy by John Galliano Fall Winter 1996 Rare Runway Bow Dress FR38
Brand: Givenchy
Designer: John Galliano
Collection: Fall Winter 1996
Fabric: Wool
Color: Grey
Size: FR38
John Galliano made fashion history when he became creative director of Givenchy in 1995. He was the first British designer to helm a major French couture fashion house. Galliano was at Givenchy for only one year (1995-1996), and produced two couture collections and two ready to wear collections, which paved the way for his appointment as the creative director at Dior.
This very rare Givenchy bow dress is from John Galliano’s Fall Winter 1996 collection. Made from charcoal grey pinstriped wool, it features long sleeves, structured shoulders and a concealed front button closure that opens fully. It can be worn as a dress or as a jacket. Four bows accent the front of the dress, these bow details are an early trademark of John Galliano. The white collar and velvet tie are detachable.
The detachable collar has been professionally restored by a couture tailor to match the original specifications.
