Editor's Note

“'CD' choker: a flawless 'link' between past and present luxury.”

In the 2000 Christian Dior Spring/Summer campaign by John Galliano, shot by Nick Knight, one particular image stands out for its palpable sensuality and tension. It features Gisele Bündchen wearing a larger version of this Dior necklace, a signature piece of the collection, which became one of the campaign's most iconic elements. Positioned behind Gisele, Rhea Durham gently guides her hands down her neck, creating an intimate and charged interaction between the two models. The way the necklace is draped around Gisele's neck adds to the provocative energy of the shot. This image, with its suggestive yet elegant sensuality, had a powerful impact on viewers—"everyone was in a chokehold," quite literally and figuratively.

The campaign stirred significant controversy, blending elements of luxury with raw eroticism and exploring complex power dynamics in fashion. It became iconic for its daring, boundary-pushing approach, capturing a moment where elegance, seduction, and power seamlessly converged.

As seen on Bella Hadid.
