An interesting piece for collectors

This piece stands out not only for the Galliano name but for the relatively uncommon combination of technical outerwear, down fill, fox fur, Newspaper print, decorative elements and elaborate construction.

The Newspaper print is one of the most recognized visual codes of the Galliano universe, and Galliano Y2K pieces with this finish are sought after in the vintage and archive fashion markets.

Important: the item is presented as an archive/Y2K collector’s piece. No claim is made that it is a runway piece or from a specific collection, as this information is not documentarily confirmed.

Measurements

Measurements taken with the piece laid flat:

* Length: 95 cm
* Pit to pit: 57 cm
* Sleeve: 67 cm
* Approximate bust: 114 cm circumference

Due to the padded and voluminous cut, it is recommended to compare the measurements with a similar item before purchase.

Condition

Very good overall condition for the piece’s age, maintaining excellent structure, volume, finish and visual presence.

There is only a small detail to note: the zipper pull on the right sleeve has lost the letter “G,” which was part of the original decorative element. The closure is present and functional; this is only the absence of this small decorative piece.

This detail is mentioned explicitly to ensure total transparency for the buyer.

Apart from this small issue, the piece is in very good overall condition, with no relevant structural damage visible.

Care

The label recommends professional dry cleaning, following the specific care instructions for the filling and for the fur. The fur finish should be removed before cleaning, in accordance with the label’s instructions.

Conclusion

A strong-presenting John Galliano Y2K piece, particularly interesting for archive fashion collectors due to the combination of Newspaper print, 80/20 down-feathers fill, fox fur, voluminous construction, embroidery, hardware and features characteristic of the Galliano aesthetic.

A piece worthy of being showcased on Catawiki not merely as vintage outerwear, but as a Galliano/Y2K archive piece with a strong aesthetic identity and collector appeal.
