Picture a large room bordered with clusters of mannequins dressed in mint condition Jeanne Lanvin, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurentcreations, with rails and rails of Balenciaga, Mugler and Carven filling any remaining space.
That’s half of it. The moment when the experience upgraded from “gorgeous” to “jaw-dropping” arrived when I learned that not only could I photograph the goods…I could also TRY THEM ON! It was like a fashion exhibition without the stern reminders not to touch!
Having previewed the sale online, I knew to head straight for Lot 166, an Ossie Clark red crepe evening gown from the 1970s. I tried it on, did a little twirl, and emerged from the ad-hoc dressing room my usual poised, unruffled self, just in time to see Kerry come back through the door.
