Rosamond Bernier Sells Vintage Couture on Yoox

Famous art lecturer and socialite Rosamond Bernier is cleaning out her closet, and on Thursday her vintage couture castoffs will be available on Yoox.com. Included in the sale is a rare piece from Yves Saint Laurent's reign at Christian Dior, a waterprint taffeta gown with matching evening bag. (Bernier donated a 1949 Dior, at right, to the Met.)

Bernier gave her last art lecture at the Met in March, but could probably tell a number of stories about the clothes she recently handed over -- Zandra Rhodes frocks and Chanel suits she's been collecting for decades. Considering Bernier's been named to the International Best Dressed List -- for life -- the selection on Yoox is worth a look.
