Vintage Dior Red Longline Coat c. 2000 XL

A saturated red polyester forms the sharply tailored silhouette of this longline Dior coat, cut to fall just below the knee with a clean, uninterrupted front. The absence of visible hardware or external branding directs focus to the architectural lines and the vivid colour, with discreet seaming accentuating the shoulders and chest. This piece likely dates to the late 1990s or early 2000s, a transitional period for Dior defined by a shift from Gianfranco Ferré’s structural opulence to the directional minimalism that set the stage for John Galliano’s era. Dior, established in Paris in 1946, stands as the house that revolutionised post-war fashion with its sculptural tailoring and bold, feminine codes—qualities echoed in the precise, elongated form of this coat. The interior is rendered in matching red, creating a seamless visual effect from lining to exterior. Condition is very good, with no visible signs of wear; the fabric retains its luster and crisp structure throughout. This coat is estimated as an XL based on measurements, offering a generous fit at the chest and shoulders. The mannequin normally wears a size M.
