Extraordinary Fall 1979 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Blue Silk Dress w Metallic Gold & Silver Detail designer-oleg-cassini It is a beautiful exampleThis exceptional dress is by Marc Bohan for Christian Dior and it is a wonderful example of his work during this time period. Weve dated it to the Fall 1979 collection based on the runway photo we found that shows a dress with the same fabric. It is a very easy and comfortable dress to wear but has such a beautiful glamour to it. I feel that it perfectly represents this time period. His work was integral to the label's development over the decades
