Christian Dior by John Galliano Fall 1998 Calais Lace trim Grey Wool Tweed Skirt Suit

From John Galliano’s Fall/Winter 1998 collection for Christian Dior, this grey wool tweed skirt suit is a rare example of the designer’s ability to merge classic tailoring with romantic detail. The suit is edged with delicate white Calais lace, a refined touch that softens the structured silhouette and highlights Galliano’s theatrical sensibility.

The top and skirt (both size FR 36) are crafted in an ultra luxe blend of 92% wool, 6% cashmere, and 2% elastane, offering warmth, softness, and subtle stretch. The interior is fully lined in 100% silk, ensuring comfort and a smooth finish against the skin. The pockets are also slanted at an angle to accentuate the hips.

This ensemble embodies the late‑1990s Dior aesthetic under Galliano’s creative direction — bold yet elegant, dramatic yet wearable. A true collector’s piece, it reflects the maison’s heritage of craftsmanship while capturing the spirit of Galliano’s transformative era at Dior.

Excellent condition with no noticeable signs of wear.
