Denim, the most ordinary of cloths, cut into a soft wide brim and finished with the Dior name in metal. It belongs to a decade in which the house treated workwear fabric as a material for luxury accessories.
This Christian Dior sun hat dates from the 2000s. It is made in washed-out denim, with a floppy wide brim that can be folded, and a metal badge bearing the Dior logo. It is size 50, a small fit.
Workwear cloth, finished with the Dior name.
John Galliano moved to Christian Dior in October 1996, succeeding Gianfranco Ferré, and stayed until 2011. Under his direction the house produced accessories in a wide range of materials; the Saddle bag, shown for Spring/Summer 2000, appeared in Trotter canvas, leather and denim among others.
Christian Dior sold hat sketches to Paris newspapers before he opened his own house, and his first collection in 1947 showed the Bar suit with a hat. A summer hat in denim carries that habit into a far more casual register.
The soft brim gives shade and folds away for travel. The metal badge is the only branding, placed where it identifies the hat without dominating it. Little sign of wear is visible.
A single badge identifies the hat.
Accessories from Dior's early-2000s period have drawn renewed attention from collectors in recent years. A denim piece from those years reflects how the house worked with everyday materials at the time.
Accessories from John Galliano's years at Dior continue to attract interest among collectors of early-2000s fashion.
Denim fades and softens with use, so pieces with little sign of wear are assessed with care.
The use of denim by luxury houses around 2000 is a recognised part of the period's fashion.
