Overview
- Julien’s Auctions will present more than 200 items from Princess Diana’s wardrobe and other royal family collections in its “Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection” sale
- Featured highlights include the Lady Dior handbag—originally named Chouchou and gifted by Bernadette Chirac—and Diana’s 1986 Catherine Walker Falcon evening gown detailed with falcon embroidery
- Only a handful of Diana’s coats appear for sale because she routinely asked staff to distribute them to London’s homeless during the cold months
- Diana collaborated with British Vogue editor Anna Harvey and designers such as Catherine Walker to use her global platform to spotlight British and emerging fashion talent
- Following her own 1997 auction that raised over $3 million for charity, this event is expected to carry forward her legacy of fundraising through sales of her personal belongings
