John Galliano | Wedding Gown for Kate Moss | c. 2011
• • •
Galliano’s deceptively simple design for Moss was the result of four marathon fittings and months of preparation. The gown itself took its visual cues from the streamlined styles of the Jazz Age, most notably The Great Gatsby: Galliano stated that he and Moss were inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald, the beautiful and troubled wife of Gatsby’s author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Hence, the gown became a masterpiece of the technique of bias-cutting, originally developed in the Twenties and Thirties and which became one of Galliano’s aesthetic signatures during his rise to prominence in the Nineties. Ehrman highlights the best examples in the exhibition as being “those dresses which represent a synergy between designer and client”.

Hungarian Dolman Ensemble | c. 1770
• • •
This suit represents some special features of the 17th century Hungarian man’s fashion: the slanted cut at the front and the braided buttons and loops. On the other hand, these features appear on a waistcoat that, following the fashion of Western Europe, took the place of the typical Hungarian “dolman” in the 18th century. The European influence is apparent on the attenuated cut, as well as on the set-in sleeves and the curved line of the shoulders. The legs of the trousers are tight-fitting for boots. The bottom consists of two pieces the cut is identical with the usual type of cut of the 17th century. The side seams are braided and embroidered with motifs similar to those of the waistcoat.
