Taking clients on tours to search for Chanel bags & jewelry or the perfect vintage dress is one of the great parts of my and my Diva Guides’ jobs! Sometimes, however, the closets of style setters are opened to the public via auction. Well if you’re a fashionista, hold onto your wallets, because I have good news for you! On Tuesday June 24th at 5pm, Rosebery’s is holding an auction of the personal wardrobe of International Vogue Editor, Suzy Menkes. She has been a style icon since the inception of her career, donning some of the most fashionable garments from the 1960’s through the 2000’s. Her clothing along with enviable accessories will go to the highest bidder at this Fine Art Sale. Yes. Fashion is Art!
