Princess Diana's dresses on display in Hong Kong ahead of auction

The collection of dresses, shoes and handbags -- some of which are familiar fashion moments from the Princess of Wales -- is part of a 12-day exhibit at a Hong Kong mall which launched Thursday. They will then be on display in Ireland at another exhibit before going on auction on June 27. 'She made a fashion statement every time she got dressed and went out the door,' Martin Nolan, executive director of California-based Julien's Auctions, told AFP.

The 65-year-old added that the city's affection for her went beyond the usual fanfare for other British royals.'Diana was charismatic, caring and devoted to charity. That's why a lot of Hong Kongers respected her,' Fung said.Other notable items included a Victor Edelstein-designed silk and lace evening dress, as well as a pink floral Catherine Walker dress, which Diana wore in 1991 when she kept bedside vigil beside close friend Adrian Ward-Jackson.
