Christian Dior Two-Piece Taffeta Palazzo Pant Ensemble, Spring 2019

Christian Dior debuted the Bar suit in his inaugural Corolle collection, which featured a knife-pleated skirt and tailored jacket with flared hips and a diminutive waist. It has become one of the most iconic styles of the 20th century, and in a modern interpretation of Dior’s magnum opus, Chiuri offers trousers and a jacket that enable movement and fit the contours of the natural body.

Black silk taffeta two-piece palazzo pant ensemble including a 3/4 length sleeve jacket with single notch collar and lapel, diagonal front hip patch pockets, and center front button closure; paired with matching black silk taffeta pleated palazzo pants with center back zipper closure.
