We are delighted with the result of this auction which confirms Elizabeth Taylors status as Fashion Icon and Muse. Interest was truly international and included private individuals, celebrities and fashion archives competing fiercely online, in the room and on the telephones. Bidding was particularly frenzied for the stunning Christian Dior evening gown of silver encrusted brocade with matching evening bag, from 1968, which Miss Taylor wore to Guy de Rothschild and his wifes yearly ball at Chateau de Ferrires, France, noted Patricia Frost, Christies Head of Fashion. Throughout the past week, bidders have been paying tribute to Miss Taylors sense of style and Christies are very pleased that her extraordinary wardrobe will continue to inspire further generations of fans, fashionistas and designers. It is wonderful that The Elizabeth Taylor Trust have generously donated the iconic Irene Sharaff Sunflower Yellow Silk Chiffon Wedding Dress, 1964, to a major American museum. We now look to the three sessions of Fashion and Accessories on 15 December which feature a further 300 lots, with affordable estimates ranging between $300 and $5,000.
