Our first Passion for Fashion auction of the year is here!

Hot on the heels of our highly successful auction in America, and just when you thought it was safe to relax – we are back to tempt you yet again!

Passion for Fashion features an exceptional array of Chanel dating from the 1920s to 2017, beginning with a particularly strong group of suits and accessories straight from the iconic runways of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Three contemporary and avant-garde fashion designers are represented with collections towards the start of the sale. Francesco Scognamiglio, known for his beautifully crafted and feminine designs, has become a celebrity favourite in the past decade, and we have pieces in this auction worn by Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Björk, among others. We have a large selection of Michael Halpern designs, recognisable by their bright colours and sculptural quality. And also have a substantial offering of bold and vibrant Alexandre Vauthier haute couture, straight off the runway.

Alexander McQueen is strongly represented, both in designs for his eponymous house and his tenure at Givenchy. Highlights include a heavily embellished ‘Witches of Salem’ gown and a printed silk evening gown from his last collection, ‘Angels and Demons’. Exceptional pieces of Givenchy haute couture by Alexander McQueen don’t often come up for auction, and we are pleased to include several stunning ensembles that show the late designer’s tailoring finesse and eye for historical inspiration.

It wouldn’t be a Kerry Taylor Auctions sale without John Galliano, and this sale contains over 100 pieces by the designer, both for his own house and for Christian Dior. This selection includes pieces going back as early as 1985, including many iconic pieces such as a newsprint-chinchilla fur coat from the ‘Fly Girl’ collection, Maasai necklaces, classic Galliano slip dresses, hand-illustrated designs, and more.

John Dove & Molly White are renowned for their textile prints. They are especially famous for their t-shirts with designs that fused music, fashion and bold graphics. They met at art college in the 60s and formed a design partnership that endures to this day. We present Westwood/McLaren SEX, Seditionaries and World’s End pieces from their collection, in this the 50th anniversary year of the birth of Punk fashion.

Coinciding the Victoria & Albert museum’s exceptional Schiaparelli exhibition, we include a rare ‘centipede’ bracelet (which can also be worn as a brooch), from 1940, a Lesage-embroidered Linton wool coat, and a striped silk ‘Sari’ coat, both illustrated in Vogue in 1936 & 1937. Gabrielle Chanel was famed for her Little Black dresses and we have a fantastic example from 1924 adorned with beaded ‘ribbon’ strands as well as some lovely Gabrielle Chanel accessories from the 1930s. Further icons of 1920s fashion and textiles are represented, with examples from the Wiener Werkstätte, Mariano Fortuny, Maria Gallenga, and Jeanne Lanvin.

Other historical highlights include a mourning bodice which belonged to Queen Victoria in the 1890s, and a wonderful single-family collection of 18th and early 19th-century silk gowns. The jewel in this collection is a fabulous ginger silk grosgrain robe à la française, with drawstrings in the hips for adjustable width.

Spanning 300 years of fashion history through over 540 lots, this sale truly has something for every discerning collector. We look forward to receiving your condition report requests and to hopefully seeing you on one of our busy viewing days!
