A beautiful interpretation of Dior's iconic Bar jacket from John Galliano's celebrated F/W 2005 collection cut in sumptuous plum crushed velvet, this sculptural jacket references Christian Dior's legendary 1947 New Look silhouette with its nipped waist, softly flared peplum and impeccably tailored proportions. Galliano updated the house classic through rich textural contrast, pairing the luxurious velvet body with ribbed cable-knit wool sleeves and oversized knit patch pockets, creating a striking balance between couture elegance and relaxed sportswear.

The F/W 2005 collection explored luxurious texture and equestrian inspired tailoring, with multiple interpretations of the iconic Bar jacket appearing on the runway. Velvet was one of the collection's defining materials, lending depth and richness to Galliano's romantic vision for the season. Finished with tonal leather buttons, a softly structured collar and beautifully tailored construction, this jacket captures the inventive craftsmanship that defined Galliano's tenure at Dior. A beautifully executed example of Galliano's reinterpretation of Dior's most iconic silhouette, balancing the precision of the New Look with the romance and theatricality that came to define his years at the house.
