SS02 Dior by John Galliano ‘1947’ Gothic Sleeveless Tank Top

John Galliano’s Spring 2002 collection celebrated diversity in representation of street, Arab and Western culture. The wide contrast of ethnic tropes were presented in harmony, intertwining and honouring the differences between each. As gothic text sat atop oversized jersey silhouettes, lavish motifs of traditional Bedouins walked, finalized with the inception of Occidental cowboy hats. Curbing the lore of Christian Dior’s heritage, Galliano shied from conformity to showcase an unexplored aspect of the maison, pushing boundaries through experiment and play.

 

Debuting in John Galliano’s Spring 2002 collection, this famed gothic logo tank top remains at the height of the season’s rebellious ethos. Coming in a two tone colour way, the sleeveless silhouette reads ‘Christian Dior’ across the chest, alongside ‘1947’ on the underside in an ominous font. Nodding to the founding year of the Maison, this piece has become a highly sought after piece from Galliano’s reign and is tagged as a size 38 or small, in pristine condition throughout.
