| EVERY DRESS TELLS A STORY: COUTURE FROM THE DIDIER LUDOT COLLECTION |
| 8 JULY 2015 SOTHEBY’S PARIS |
| With designs by Paul Poiret, Yohji Yamamoto, Madame Grès, Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga, Azzedine Alaïa, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, John Galliano and Comme des Garçons, Didier Ludot’s collection provides a comprehensive overview of 20th century fashion. |
| Each piece was carefully chosen by Ludot, France’s greatest « fashion antiquarian », for its technical skill and beauty, reflecting either the trademark style of the couturier who created it or the elegance of the woman who wore it.
|
| Ludot has dressed fashion icons such as Catherine Deneuve, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Moss, Sharon Stone, Nicole Kidman and Stéphanie Seymour. |
| This sale – the first fashion auction at Sotheby’s Paris – unveils these women’s wardrobes and individual styles: the Chanel « little black dress » with sequins owned by Romy Schneider; the Duchess of Windsor’s psychedelic 60’s dress; Loulou de la Falaise’s Yves Saint Laurent hat; Mona Bismarck’s Balenciaga cape; the sculptural dresses Alaïa created for Bettina; the impeccable Dior jacket designed for Josette Day; Barbara Hutton’s Cartier jewel box; and many more. |
