Marie Antoinette by John Galliano for Christian Dior (2000). Caroline Weber discusses Galliano’s creation in Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution (2006). As Weber notes, ‘one of the gown’s two embroidered hip panels depict the notorious French queen frolicking at her country palace in shepherdess costume; the other shows her walking to the guillotine in rags. These details rightly suggest that her fate was inextricably intertwined with her clothing choices.’
