PARIS : Silk caftans, exotic leather coats and monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggage sets are among items from the late American fashion journalist Andre Leon Talley set to go under the hammer this week at Christie's in New York.
"He was a larger-than-life tour de force," said Elizabeth Seigel, head of private and iconic collections at Christie's New York, speaking at an exhibit in Paris, where some of the items are displayed.Close to 400 lots will go on sale from Friday to Feb.
The auction house estimates the lots will fetch more than a million dollars, funds that will go to two Baptist churches that played a key role in Talley's life."He was Anna Wintour’s right-hand man, and he also paved the way for a new generation of those who followed him, such as Edward Enninful," said Seigel, noting that he also played a role mentoring new generations of designers and writers.
