PARIS VINTAGE #3: Fashion Treasures at Penelope’s Auction

A piano dances, the subdued light of candlesticks caresses a long satin and lace dress by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. Heavy crimson velvet curtains brush against a 70s muslin or the latex of a Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello.

The herringbone parquet floor creaks under Tabi’s footsteps. Tabi Margiela as she strides in Pumppie Pumppie Pumppie Louboutin pumps in thick carpet.

A cubist tote bag Himalaya Hermès cubist tote slouched on an upholstered sofa, while a small Malice embroidered with gold threads à la Klimt Dior on an inlaid coffee table.

Further on, a sculptedAlaïa silhouette emerges from the chiaroscuro, and the sparkle of an Elie Saab sheath captures the glitter of a crystal chandelier.

At PENELOPE‘S, we’re temporarily abandoning La Gazette du Bon Ton to leaf through John Galliano ‘s Gazette, in which audacity, culture and gossip tell the story of our times and inspire our desires. There’s only one rule here: free style!

Penelope’s next sale is set to feature equally remarkable fashion artifacts, continuing their tradition of connecting discerning collectors with significant pieces of fashion history.
