RARE Monumental John Galliano Spring 2015 Runway Leaf Necklace

This is an incredibly rare find, straight from the John Galliano runway. Our Vintage Monumental John Galliano Runway Leaf Necklace was seen as the main statement-making accessory at the spring 2015 John Galliano runway show in Paris.

As far as statement necklaces go, this one has major presence. Its huge rainbow-hued laser-cut acrylic leaves in varying degrees of transparency are scattered to create a wild, organic feel equal to wearable art. The leaves are flanked by a gold tone bar (signed John Galliano on the back) and hang from a sturdy green leather collar with contrasting pink stitching. 

A rare piece of fashion history, Bill Gaytten (a protégé of Galliano) designed this piece for John Galliano. "With his new collection for John Galliano, Bill Gaytten was inspired by all the things he could do with jacquard. The patterns and textures made him think of the artisanal and the organic, which—in that leap of faith you must take at face value with creative types—took him deep into the jungle: Bamboo prints, wood-veneer-trimmed basket weaves, patterns of scarification, and vivid applications of iridescent plastic leaves window-dressed the theme," wrote fashion critic Tim Blanks of the collection.

Impossible-to-find piece, sourced from a lifetime collector of rare runway jewelry.
