Shoes, handbags, hats and various objects… Julien’s Auctions will present this Thursday, June 27, around fifty items that belonged to Diana.
Fans of Princess Diana, who died in 1997, will be able to treat themselves to a piece of glamour, with the auction of a vast collection of her clothes and fashion accessories scheduled for Thursday June 27 in California. Julien’s Auctions will notably present two dresses in Beverly Hills, each estimated between $200,000 and $400,000.
The first is a midnight blue tulle ball gown designed by Murray Arbeid, which Diana wore in 1986 to the London premiere of Phantom of the Opera. The second, a lace dress created by Victor Edelstein, which she wore twice.
“We have some exceptional pieces… iconic pieces that Diana wore with great pride and that are truly emblematic of her style,” said Gabriela Schwartz of Julian’s Auctions.
“She really loved fashion”
The Princess of Wales is remembered as a glamorous, fashion-loving icon. She fascinated generations long after her death in 1997, in a car accident in Paris.
“She really loved fashion. She had fashion intuition. She was very thoughtful about the pieces and the designers she wore,” added Gabriela Schwartz. “She is both the people’s princess and a fashion designer’s dream.”
In December, a former Lady Di dress sold for a record $1.14 million at another auction.
Shoes, handbags, hats and various objects… the collection presented on Thursday includes around fifty items that belonged to Diana. Fans will be able to acquire some of his handwritten letters, and also items that belonged to other members of the British royal family.
