Galliano's 'Dior's Little Sweetheart Pin-Ups' Autumn/Winter 1997 Ready-to-Wear collection took place at Musée Guimet, Paris, on the 11th of March, and was one of the designer's debuts as Christian Dior creative director.
The 'Chinoise' section of the Dior S/S 1997 haute couture collection had proved successful with clients, so they were included in the ready-to-wear as well. Describing the looks, Galliano told WWD at the time, 'Think sex kittens, pinups, Vargas girls, Carole Lombard, Jayne Mansfield and Chinois pinups.'
Models including Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer walked in the show, and an example of this bag can be seen on the runway, being carried by Naomi Campbell.
