Yves St. Laurent Pieces To Be Auctioned Off

Filed under: Auctions

With the recent passing of Yves St. Laurent, the fashion icon's belongings are quite valuable and will be desired by many fans to be sure. Christie's will be assisting with an auction on July 2nd of seven lots of clothing and jewelry representing almost every decade of the French designer's career. These collectible pieces are relatively inexpensive since they are not new designs and have been worn. Check out the auction ahead of time on Christie's website and be ready to bid come July 2nd -- what a great way to celebrate fashion and the incomparable YSL.

Filed under: Apparel, Auctions, Charity

Daphne Guiness,socialite and couture collector, has decided to jump on the bandwagon and perform her own spring cleaning in her closet -- except she is auctioning her unused and unwanted items to support the Womankind charity which benefits women in developing countries. The auction of such pieces from Chanel, Versace and Alexander McQueen happens today at 2 pm with Kerry Taylor Auction House in London. For those of us who can't make the lightning-speed trip over the pond, you can also bid via eBay. A typical lot of shoes may include four or more styles from Jimmy Choo, Yves Saint Laurent or Prada and will range from $80 to $400. There are also Marni coats and a Lanvin shredded ribbon dress. Although you have to be a size 37 shoe (that's in UK sizing) you don't have to fit into the gorgeous handbags, hats or accessories.
