Yes, it’s true, by now the time for Christmas gifts (even those made for themselves) has passed but this is an opportunity not to be missed, however, you’ll have to be ready to shell out a lot of money because it’s a big deal.
Starting tomorrow, January 5th and running until the 11th, French auction house Artcurial will kick off a unique auction of 250 accessories, photographs, vintage items and memorabilia that have made the history of one of the most iconic fashion houses in history, Chanel.
Among the memorabilia that you can try to take home, always considering the prices and the fierce struggle to get them, we find: the denim suit that one of the supermodels par excellence, Claudia Schiffer, wore during the Fall/Winter ’93/’94 fashion show; a campaign photo that portrays Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington taken by Karl Lagerfeld in person in the late ’80s; a lizard shoulder strap; a quilted leather jacket and much more. Of course, there are also some cult accessories such as the logoed boomerang and the rubber ball for yoga or pilates.
Among the unforgettable moments in the history of Chanel, it is impossible not to include the Fall/Winter 2014/2015 show, when Lagerfeld turned the Grand Palais into a colorful and pop supermarket, having the models walk down the runway while shopping in a unique atmosphere. Of that moment, remained in the collective imagination, will be auctioned rusks with the double C and the detergent for colored clothes of Mademoiselle.
The auction will take place exclusively online so if you want to give it a try, click here and good luck!
