I think it is a tad early to be auctioning these pieces. Imagine if they’d auctioned off the Duchess of Windsor’s things 30 years after she was at the height of fashion. I don’t think we are ready for these 80’s shoulders just yet and definitely not anywhere near ready for a fresh look at Zandra Rhodes. The workmanship throughout is gorgeous, though.
Agreed that the bottle green is the pick to hit, followed by the midnight blue velvet, followed by the black velvet (sorry- lose the flower puff at the back of the neck). All fun to see! Thanks for letting us know what’s going on!
I’m certainly not ready to do the 80s again, my hideous perm and double denim are just too fresh in my memory! I think you’re right about the pieces being auctioned too early, apparently the dresses didn’t reach the prices they expected, although 200k for the “John Travolta dress” is still pretty darn expensive…
