Christian Dior by John Galliano SS2001 Oriental Print Corset & Bikini Set

B | Good Vintage Condition

The vibrant multicoloured Oriental-inspired print remains beautifully preserved, showcasing John Galliano’s distinctive SS2001 vision for Christian Dior through an intricate composition of florals, decorative fan motifs, and richly layered graphic elements. The palette remains vivid and well saturated throughout, with striking tones of red, blue, green, cream, and soft pink retaining their visual impact.

The two-piece set comprises a structured corset-style swim top with slender shoulder straps and a coordinating bikini bottom, creating a distinctly playful Galliano-era silhouette. The lightweight polyamide construction remains smooth and visually well preserved, while the original Christian Dior labels, stitching, and finishes remain intact. Both pieces remain clean overall with no significant staining observed.

Due to the age of the piece, the fabric has experienced a loss of elasticity and no longer retains its original stretch and recovery. This is particularly important when considering fit and wearability and is reflected in the condition grading.

Overall, the set presents beautifully from a visual perspective, retaining its vibrant colour, intricate print, original construction, and unmistakable early Galliano-era Dior aesthetic. The loss of elasticity is consistent with the natural ageing of vintage swimwear and should be considered prior to purchase.
