Two Designer Two-Piece Ensembles, 2000-10s

John Galliano's Autumn/Winter 1999 ready-to-wear collection for Dior featured luxurious, voluminous knits and daring updates of classic silhouettes. The ensemble juxtaposes the fine cut of the jacket with the bulging, oversized collar, whose thick knit approaches a craftlike quality in contrast to Dior's precise tailoring.
