Catherine Deneuve to sell gowns
Published: 20 Jan. 2019, 17:29
Close to 130 one-of-a-kind styles crafted by the late designer for Deneuve, a close friend, will go on sale at Christie’s on Jan. 24. They include red carpet looks like a shimmering gold number worn by Deneuve to the Oscars, which is expected to fetch between 2,000 to 3,000 euros ($3,400).
The “Belle de Jour” actress, a fashion fan often spotted among guests at Parisian catwalk shows, is selling the designs after parting with a house in Normandy, northern France, where she had stored them for decades.
“When she found herself in possession of these clothes, she didn’t have cupboards in Paris […] to hold them,” said Francois de Ricqles, president of Christie’s France.
