An illustrated catalogue of highlights from the auction of 300 items owned by a sartorial woman featuring haute couture fashions and accessories dating from 1935-1950. The fashionista clearly favoured Elsa Schiaparelli, but her collection is also a who’s who of all the top fashion designers of her day, including Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Nina Ricci, Jeanne Lanvin, Madeleine Vionnet, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, and Chanel.
