ONLINE AUCTION
FROM 07/31 TO 09/08 2025
CHRISTIAN DIOR hats from the 50s, rare YVES SAINT LAURENT bibs by Roger Scemama for the 1967 “African” collection, LANVIN Haute Couture creations from the Jules-François Crahay era…
This summer, explore seven decades of fashion told through 300 garments and accessories.
The 80s saw the emergence of a powerful, sculptural fashion style: pronounced shoulders, assertive volumes, futuristic heroines by CLAUDE MONTANA, THIERRY MUGLER or JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER, boldly shod by MAUD FRIZON, STÉPHANE KÉLIAN and ANNE-MARIE BERETTA.
The ’90s, epitomized by the wardrobe of MARA CROMER, Munich socialite and co-founder of leather goods brand MCM, celebrate glamorous fashion: short skirts, ultra-glamorous stretch dresses and acid colors.
AZZEDINE ALAÏA sculpts, GIANNI VERSACE electrifies, HERVÉ LÉGER embraces, CHANEL modernizes chic.
The TOP MODELS era sublimates these silhouettes in campaigns that have become cult favorites.
The 2000s oscillated between the conceptual rigor of MARTIN MARGIELA at HERMÈS and the romantic exuberance of JOHN GALLIANO at DIOR.
It’s also an opportunity to discover our catalog “FASHION MAGAZINES OF THE XXᵉ CENTURY #2”a fascinating immersion in the women’s press, from 1906 to the year 2000.
And now it’s time to reawaken your desires, enchant your imagination and take a gentle stroll.
𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐝 for 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐋, 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟒.
Two tailors, two souls:
– One, 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐫 & 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜, engraved like a power score.
– The other, 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐪𝐮𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 & 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞, breathes freedom and gentle insolence.
From the catwalks of 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞́𝐞𝐬 𝟗𝟎 to the archives of 𝐚𝐮𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐝’𝐡𝐮𝐢, these silhouettes are not clothes, but 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐝’𝐞́𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞́.
At a time when the world is searching for landmarks, the 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐝 becomes manifest:
a 𝐦𝐞́𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, a 𝐞́𝐥𝐞́𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.
Two tides, two times.

𝐘𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 Haute Couture, Spring-Summer 𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟕, illuminated by jewels from 𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐀.
A turquoise silhouette, crowned with crystal constellations, once sparkling under the lights of Paris, resurfaces today in our 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐏𝐄’𝐒 Online Auction (closes 08/09/2025).
1967 was a year of revolutions – cultural, political, musical.
Today, as the world once again reels in tides of uncertainty, this dress reminds us that beauty can be resistance, and couture a language of resilience.
History doesn’t fade – it comes back, shining. ✨
Waves of style, born of rebellion and beauty.
From the iconic storm trench coat by 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 to 𝐀𝐥𝐚ï𝐚, 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐦è𝐬, 𝐌𝐮𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐫, 𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐱 𝐇𝐞𝐝𝐢 𝐒𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞, 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐚 and 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐧 – each silhouette is a manifesto of resilience.
Past and present, forever entwined. 🖤
When archives awaken, they don’t just echo
– they resonate.
