About this work
John Galliano’s Hardcore collection drew upon fetishism, Japanese iconography and basketball numbers. Elvira, evening dress features a signature print of the collection, fishes and roundels repeated in a graphic black-and-white repeat. A Dior spokesperson described the collection as ‘hardcore glamour – always beautiful but in raunchy latex’.
