Vintage Christian Dior Pink Trotter Full Zip Cardigan Early 2000s Dior Era / Archive Monogram Piece ⸻ This piece originates from Christian Dior’s early-2000s John Galliano era, a pivotal transitional period when the house fully embraced logo maximalism, body-conscious silhouettes, and pop-cultural visibility. The Dior Trotter monogram, introduced and aggressively re-contextualized during Galliano’s tenure, became one of the most recognizable luxury codes of the Y2K era — worn across runway, editorial, and off-runway celebrity culture. Unlike later revivals, original Galliano-era Trotter garments were produced with distinct fabric density, color saturation, and pattern alignment that clearly separate them from post-2010 reinterpretations. This full-zip knit cardigan represents Dior’s ready-to-wear archive, not as a runway spectacle, but as a cultural artifact of early-2000s luxury lifestyle dressing — a category increasingly collected for its authenticity, wearability, and historical accuracy. Its slim, elongated silhouette reflects Galliano’s approach to femininity at the time: intimate, graphic, and deliberately urban. As Y2K Dior continues to be institutionally re-evaluated, original Galliano-era Trotter pieces like this have shifted from casual resale items into recognized archive garments, sought after by collectors who prioritize era-correct construction and original production runs over modern reissues. This garment stands as a true archival example of Dior’s most commercially and culturally influential period. ⸻ HISTORY & RELATED INFLUENCE John Galliano’s Dior (1997–2011) is now regarded as one of the most collectible eras in modern fashion history. The Dior Trotter pattern became a defining Y2K visual language—frequently worn by early 2000s pop icons and later recontextualized by contemporary designers and stylists. In the Japanese and Korean archive markets, Galliano-era knitwear is increasingly positioned alongside early Prada Sport, Dolce & Gabbana archive, and pre-Phoebe Céline as investment-grade fashion artifacts. ⸻ DETAILS • Brand: Christian Dior • Era: Early 2000s (Y2K period) • Original Dior Trotter monogram fabric • Full zip cardigan construction • Lightweight stretch knit body • Authentic Dior zipper pull • Made during Dior’s global expansion era ⸻ SIZE & MEASUREMENTS (MEASURED FLAT) • Tag Size: Not listed • Chest (pit to pit): 20 inches • Length (shoulder to hem): 23 inches ⸻ CONDITION Very good vintage condition.
