A silk dressing gown in which the Miss Dior name becomes part of the check, repeated across the whole garment. Lace cuffs and padded shoulders place it firmly in the 1980s.
This dressing gown dates from the 1980s and is labelled Miss Dior for Saks Fifth Avenue. It is made in printed silk, with a black and ivory check overlaid with Miss Dior logos, crests and baroque emblems. A wide belt ties the open wrap front.
The Miss Dior name, repeated across the check.
Miss Dior was first the name of the house's 1947 perfume. In 1967 Marc Bohan, artistic director from 1961 to 1989, used it for Dior's first ready-to-wear line and its boutique, for which a Miss Dior logo was drawn.
Dior opened in New York in 1948, and in 1949 the house signed its first American licence, for hosiery. Saks Fifth Avenue, the department store named in this gown's label, had opened on Fifth Avenue in 1924.
Light shoulder padding and lace-trimmed cuffs give the gown a structured line typical of the 1980s. Side seam pockets and French seams finish it neatly. The print shows no fading.
Structure brought to loungewear.
The Miss Dior logo returned to the runway in Dior's Autumn/Winter 2024 ready-to-wear collection, which looked back to Bohan's 1967 line. This gown shows an earlier use of the same name on printed silk.
Pieces carrying the Miss Dior name have drawn attention since the house revisited the logo in 2024.
Silk garments can fade or weaken with wear, so pieces with an unfaded print are assessed with care.
Dior's licensing in the United States, beginning with hosiery in 1949, is a recognised part of the house's history.
