Christie’s France has announced the sale of Catherine Deneuve’s wardrobe at their upcoming auction “Catherine Deneuve and Yves Saint-Laurent,” on January 24, 2019, in Paris. The clothes, including dresses, suits, and accessories are a moving testimony of the close friendship that Catherine Deneuve and Yves Saint Laurent shared for several decades, reports dailyhunt. “Christie’s Paris celebrates the most beloved star of French cinema, her enviable style, and enduring friendship with legendary couturier Yves Saint Laurent. More than 330 famous designs offered over a live auction and an online sale will showcase the 40-year cooperation with the actress and the designer epitomizing modern French elegance. On view will be the original Saint Laurent creations including the iconic leopard print dresses and more,” states the press release of the upcoming auction. Nearly 150 lots will be offered during an online live auction through January 30, 2019. “In 1965, I was invited to be presented to Queen Elizabeth II and my husband David Bailey, a fashion photographer, suggested that I ask Yves Saint Laurent for an evening dress. I arrived at Rue Spontini with a photo from the Russian Collection from the previous year, which he agreed to create for me. A long white crepe dress with a panel of red embroidery was the start of a long professional collaboration and friendship. His consummate gravitas during the fittings together with his shy charm outside the atelier made all the years we shared so enchanting — our silent complicity, our crazy laughter, and our melancholy brought us together. I was only 20-year-old and I had the privilege of being given access to this world of luxury, to train my eye, and my taste by his side. He dressed me several times in films and I think that ‘Belle de Jour’ in particular owes a great deal to him. Now, I am leaving my house in Normandy where I kept this wardrobe — not without a certain sadness — these are the creations of such a talented man who only designed clothes to beautify women,” said Catherine Deneuve, while describing the trajectory of her career. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
