CHRISTIE’S AUCTION TO FEATURE YSL

 

Christie’s, the legendary auction house, will be having their first ever multi-owner vintage couture sale in New York on July 2nd as part of their Christie’s Interiors sale.

In light of the recent passing of French couture master Yves Saint Laurent, the auction will include, as a tribute, clothing and jewelry spanning nearly every decade of Saint Laurent’s career.  Christie’s couture specialist Laura Leyfer says that you see the progression of his career through the pieces and that all of the items are in excellent condition. Leyfer adds that the clothing and jewelry are relatively inexpensive, since they aren’t new designs and have been worn.

 
Besides YSL, the auction will include such noted names as Christian Lacroix, Thierry Mugler, Balenciaga, Mainbocher, and Gianni Versace.
 
 
YSL designed Christian Dior dress from Fall/Winter 1958 (estimated selling price $1,000-1,500)
