Provenance: The Helen Larson Private Collection Published: The Journal of the Costume Society, no 5, 1971, ‘A Study of Three Jerkins’ by Janet Arnold - the renowned scholar of early dress. Few specimens of late 16th or early 17th century costume survive. The jerkin as a garment was worn to protect the rich doublet worn below, and to provide extra warmth or protection. Utilitarian or military examples were made in leather - but this example in the finest Italian velvet must have belonged to a man of great wealth and importance. The shortness of the waist and slightly curved silhouette served to emphasise the well-rounded belly of its owner - a desirable fashionable attribute in the early 17th century. Records suggest that the piece was acquired by Helen Larson from a dealer in Connecticut in 1968 but no earlier provenance has been found. £40000 - 60000

The De Bry collection of around 600 copper engravings was to prove highly influential in this ‘Age of Discovery’ which was to inform how many Europeans viewed the world, especially in relation to America for which there had been no previous iconographic traditions. These prints were widely copied and in 1732 the Amsterdam-based Huguenot writer Bernard Picart, for his book entitled ‘Ceremonies et Costumes Religieuses de Tous les Peuples du Monde’, created a very similar illustration of the Columbus’ landfall, which ncluded a mother nursing her child as indeed this coverlet does.

BALLET

148 A Boyar cape, possibly for the character Igor-Svyatoslavich-the-Brave, designed by Nicholas Roerich for Diaghilev’s 1914 production of ‘Prince Igor’ stamped to the interior, ‘Property of Sir Joseph Beecham’ and also handwritten ‘Prince Igor, Boyars, Sketch 4, Russell’, numbered 268, of ochre linen painted with linked patterned roundels, adorned with pearl beads, and domed beaten metal discs, brass clasp, edged in brown stencilled velvet and lined in pink cotton stencilled with black undulating bands, roundels and stripes
Serge Diaghilev’s Prince Igor was premiered in Paris in 1909, with Feador Chaliapin in the role of Galitsky and costumes designed by Nicholas Roerich. The impresario Gabriel Astruc who had backed this production over-stretched himself by building the new Theatre de Champs Elysees and went bankrupt. In 1910 Sir Joseph Beecham (the pharmaceutical giant and father of renowned conductor - Thomas) came to Diaghilev’s aid by sponsoring a season in London’s Drury Lane theatre, but as he was more interested in opera than ballet it was agreed that in addition to the ballets that Diaghilev would produce four operas - one of which was ‘Prince Igor’. 30
With this new funding Diaghilev was able to transport from Russia the small army of orchestra, chorus and soloists required for his lavish opera productions. He staged highly successful annual opera seasons at London’s Drury Lane Theatre and the Victoria & Albert Museum holds posters for productions of ‘Prince Igor’s’ Polovtsian dances on March 1st and June 22nd 1913 with principal dancers Mme. Sophie Fedorova and M. Adolf Bolm. In 1914 Diaghilev reprised the full Paris opera production in four acts with prologue with conductor Thomas Beecham, starring Chaliapin who was paid £400 a night (a fortune at the time) in the role of Vladimir/Khan Konchak and Bolm and Tchernicheva as principle dancers. It premiered on 8th June, 1914 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Roerich was again invited to provide the full set and costumes beginning work in late 1913 and finishing in early 1914. They corresponded with stage director Alexander Sanin’s vision: ‘Christian feelings, beliefs intermingling with elements of paganism’.

The costumes reflected Roerich’s interest in Russian folk art and nomadic tribal history. He used patterns inspired by Central Asian folk dress and textiles and incorporated braids and trimmings purchased from southern Russian nomadic tribal traders at markets in St Petersburg. The vibrantly patterned costumes perfectly combined with Borodin’s savage rhythms. Designer and friend Orest Allegri wrote to Roerich (who was unable to attend the first night): ‘Prince Igor was mounted last night to a full house. It was a staggering success. The British were screaming with delight’. Beecham’s opera company struggled through the war years and Roerich was never fully paid for his work. In 1920 the company went bankrupt which resulted in a ‘fire sale’ of all the company’s scenery and costumes. Jacques Rouche, the director of the Paris Opera at the time went to the sale and acquired scenic material from BeechamDiaghilev productions, notably costumes designed by the artist Leon Bakst for Boris Godunov, which are now in the Moulins archives. There is a ‘Prince Igor’ costume with identical stamp in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum S.77-1998 £3000 - 5000 150

169 A rare and important Boué Soeurs Robe de Style 'Romance', Autumn-Winter 1926-27, unlabelled, of black Chantilly lace, adorned with swags of ribbon-work roses in shades of pink, silver lamé florets, yellow and green ribbon laburnum-like fronds, cut low to front, back and sides with crin-stiffened gathers to skirt sides; worn over a replacement slip with original curved silver lame panel below the breast, bust approx 92cm, 36in
The Robe de Style gown was a fashion phenomenon occurring from the teens through to the 1920s - Boue Soeurs and Jeanne Lanvin being the main proponents, although most fashion houses included them in their repertoire. The romantic, frivolous and highly impractical 18th century-inspired gown with hooped pannier hips, worn as evening wear, captured the imaginations of women emerging from the gloom and privations of the Great War. Examples are rare, especially in good condition such as this one, where the brightness of the silk flowers are as fresh as the day they were made. Waleria Dorogova, scholar and leading authority on Boué Soeurs has researched this piece and writes: 36
Boué Sœurs, active from 1899 to 1957, were known for a francophile historicist style and the Robe de Style 'Romance' attests to their favoured aesthetic. Nearly identical versions of this design can be found at the MET, Palais Galliera and Holbæk Museum (Denmark). The fact that the same style was also executed in powder pink lace (Design Museum Copenhagen) suggests that it was very popular. A photograph in Les Modes documents that 'Romance' was worn by Isabel Rodriguez, a celebrated Spanish dancer of Madrid's Royal Theatre, who appeared in the now lost Rudolph Valentino motion picture 'L'Hacienda Rouge' (A Sainted Devil, 1925), dressed by Boué Sœurs. Indeed, the black lace of 'Romance' has a Spanish feel to it, as it is reminiscent of Francisco de Goya's portraits of Spanish aristocrats. Black Chantilly lace over various coloured silks, a recurring combination at Maison Boué over many decades, can also be seen as a nod to the Second Empire, an epoch frequently remembered by the house. The rose festoons with their fine colour gradations and the band of lamé underneath the bust are the result of Sylvie Boué's artistic nature: Her appreciation of the Rococo style, which featured bands of
roses in painting and applied arts, such as Sèvres porcelain, as well as her interest in the effects of artificial light on metallised cloth, which she meticulously studied by using fabrics from Paris' theatre suppliers. In an article instalment written by Jeanne Boué for Arts and Decoration in 1922-23 she commented on the characteristic silk roses: 'When a creation is successful, realizes our ideals, we finish it with ribbon or lace adornments, giving the completed dress the same care and taste that an artist gives in the final strokes to his pastel painting. The finishing touch is usually made with our inimitable artificial flowers - the exceptional cachet of Boué Sœurs'. £5000 - 8000

Rei Kawakubo explained the name and inspiration behind this collection: 'I started wanting to think about witches, about strong women who have special powers - who are often misunderstood. Then I found some beautiful blue fabric, so I made 'Blue Witches'...The witch symbolizes a strong woman - people were afraid of witches and tried to exterminate them because their ideas and behaviour were different from those around them. Our world needs beings like (witches) so we have to accept their existence. That sense of value is still relevant today, so I attempted to express it through (this collection).'

374 Princess Diana's Arabella Pollen silk ensemble, worn for an Official Royal visit to Adelaide, 5th April, 1983, labelled, ‘Pollen London’, in caramel, white and primrose stripes, comprising: loose jacket with self-covered buttons, horizontally striped patch pockets, pleated silk skirt and cummerbund tie sash, chest approx 97cm, 38in, waist 74cm, 29in; together with a letter of provenance (4)
Provenance: The dress was given to the vendor who worked as a nanny for a well-connected family from Northamptonshire who were good friends of 'Fergie' as she was affectionately known - Sarah, Duchess of York. She was a regular visitor and on one occasion also brought with her to dinner HRH the Prince and Princess of Wales. Princess Diana and the Duchess of York each donated two dresses to the vendor's employer to sell for charity. But on Christmas morning 1987, to the vendor's delight she was given this striped silk ensemble as a surprise present as she was such a huge fan of the Princess. It has remained in her possession ever since.

Princess Diana wore this ensemble on the first day the Royal tour of South Australia, worn with a straw boater and a blouse with ruff collar which had become synonymous with the 'Lady Di' style. The Royal couple were taken to the Adelaide Town Hall where they were treated to a State Reception followed by a trip to the Community Centre to watch a keep fit class amongst other pursuits, which were recorded on newsreels of the day. Princess Diana seemed smiling and self-assured, but later admitted that she found the first few days of the Australian tour traumatic. Although she disguised it well, the Princess was feeling unwell, believed she looked 'too thin' and found it difficult to cope with the sweltering temperatures. She also keenly felt the separation from young Prince William to whom Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, had thoughtfully extended the invitation. However massive crowds and 95 degree temperatures made it unsuitable. Still at the crawling stage, Prince William was safely ensconced with his nanny at Woomargama, a 4000 acre sheep station in New South Wales which Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited as often as they could amid their hectic schedule but at least Diana knew he was under the same sky. With a population of 17 million, over a 1 million Australians turned up in person to greet the couple on their four-week tour. But everywhere they went, the crowds clamoured for the Princess and complained when Prince Charles went over to their side of the street on a walkabout, much to his obvious displeasure. However, the success of this gruelling tour marked a turning point in Diana's Royal life. Andrew Morton, in 'Diana Her True Story - In Her Own Words', p142., wrote: 'She went out a girl, she returned home a woman... (the Australian trip) signalled the slow resurrection of her inner spirit' The international press complained that Diana was often dressed more like a dowager than a young Princess. US fashion critic Mr Blackwell, put the Princess at the top of his Worst Dressed List, stating she had gone from 'a very young, independent, fresh look' to a 'tacky, dowdy' style. However, the loose flowing lines of this ensemble made it cool to wear, practical and drew attention away from her slender form. £5000 - 8000 374 71

The harem or ‘belly-dancer’ dress was delivered by Darnell to the Prince of Wales Theatre, but he arrived late, running through the streets with the dress over his arm. However, the star couldn’t fit inside the dress so Darnell recalled he ‘clawed her bottom down into it - by which time she looked as though she’d been got at by a tiger’. Provenance: ex lot 49, Christies Auction ‘Dame Shirley Bassey - 50 Years of Glittering Gowns’, 18th September, 2003, sold for £4500. Dame Shirley was photographed wearing this gown on stage in Viareggio Italy in 1968. See Getty images link http://bit.ly/2hSFKiH £600 - 1000

FASHION FROM THE JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER ARCHIVE Jean-Louis Scherrer (19 February 1935 – 20 June 2013) founded his Paris fashion house in 1962, having first served an apprenticeship alongside Yves Saint-Laurent at Christian Dior then working for Louis Feraud. His collections were renowned for his use of fabulous beadwork, embroidery and opulent fabrics. During the 60s and 70s, his main markets outside Europe were America and Japan but in the 80s these were augmented by oil-rich Middle-Eastern buyers. He counted among his clients Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Madame Giscard d’Estaing and the actress Raquel Welch who wore an animal print dress in the 1977 Film ‘l’Animal’. However, by 1990 with the Gulf War, global economic recession and plummeting sales, the designer was sacked from his own label by his financial backers and replaced first by Erik Mortensen and then by Stephane Rolland, from 1997 – 2007. Scherrer’s tradition of ultra-Luxe looks and craftsmansip continued until the couture house permanently closed its doors in 2008. The clothes in this auction have been selected ostensibly for their glamour, quality and ’wow’ factor and are perfect for Red Carpets the world over.

(b) As auctioneer, Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd acts as agent for the Seller. Occasionally, Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd may own or have a financial interest in a lot. 2. Definitions “Bidder“ is any person making, attempting or considering making a bid, including Buyers; “Buyer“ is the person who makes the highest bid or offer accepted by the auctioneer, including a Buyer’s principal when bidding as agent; “Seller“ is the person offering a lot for sale, including their agent, or executors; “KT” means Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd of 249-253 Long Lane, London SE1 4PR, company number 7173571 “Buyer’s Expenses” are any costs or expenses due to Kerry Taylor Auctions from the Buyer; “Buyer’s Premium“ is the commission payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price at the rates set out in the Guide for Prospective Buyers; “Hammer Price“ is the highest bid for the Property accepted by the auctioneer at the auction or the post auction sale price; “Purchase Price“ is the Hammer Price plus applicable Buyer’s Premium and Buyer’s Expenses; “Reserve Price“ (where applicable) is the minimum Hammer Price at which the Seller has agreed to sell a lot. The Buyer’s Premium, Buyer’s Expenses and Hammer Price are subject to VAT, where applicable. 3. Examination of Lots (a) KT’s knowledge of lots is partly dependent on information provided by the Seller and KT is unable to exercise exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Each lot is available for examination before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions. (b) All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition reports or elswhere are statements of KT’s opinion and not representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time at KT’s absolute discretion. 4. Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers (a) KT shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that the lot is a Counterfeit, subject to the terms of KT’s Authenticity Guarantee. (b) Subject to Condition 4(a), neither KT nor the Seller:(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written information provided to Bidders by KT, whether negligent or otherwise; (ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations cannot be excluded by English law), other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer (for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the Conditions of Business for Sellers; (iii) accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by KT in
86
connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any lot. (c) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against KT and/ or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for the relevant lot. Neither KT nor the Seller shall be liable for any indirect or consequential losses. (d) Nothing in Condition 4 shall exclude or limit the liability of KT or the Seller for death or personal injury caused by the negligent acts or omissions of KT or the Seller. 5. Bidding at Auction (a) KT has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction. Before sale, Bidders must complete a Registration Form and supply such information and references as KT requires. Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal, if bidding as agent (in which case KT’s prior and express consent must be obtained). (b) KT advises Bidders to attend the auction, but KT will endeavour to execute absentee written bids provided that they are, in KT’s opinion, received in sufficient time and in legible form. (c) When available, written and telephone bidding is offered as a free service at the Bidder’s risk and subject to KT’s other commitments; KT is therefore not liable for failure to execute such bids. Telephone bidding may be recorded. 6. Import, Export and Copyright Restrictions KT and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is subject to import, export or copyright restrictions. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any copyright clearance or any necessary import, export or other licence required by law, including licenses required under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). 7. Conduct of the Auction (a) The auctioneer has discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or re-offer lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if (s)he believes that there may be an error or dispute, and may also take such other action as (s)he reasonably deems necessary. (b) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding in such increments as (s)he considers appropriate and is entitled to place bids on the Seller’s behalf up to the Reserve Price for the lot, where applicable. (c) Subject to Condition 7(a), the contract between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer’s hammer. (d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these Conditions of Business. 8. Payment and Collection (a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of the Purchase Price is due in pounds sterling immediately after the auction (the “Payment Date”). (b) Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until KT has received the Purchase Price in cleared funds. KT will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release shall not affect passing of title or the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price, as above. (c) The refusal of any licence or permit required by law, as outlined in Condition 6, shall not affect the Buyer’s obligation to pay for the lot, as per Condition 8(a). (d) The Buyer must arrange collection of lots within 10 working days of the auction. Purchased lots are at the Buyer’s risk from the earliest of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the auction. Until risk passes, KT will compensate the Buyer for any loss or damage to the lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price actually paid by the Buyer. KT’s assumption of
risk is subject to the exclusions detailed in Condition 5(d) of the Conditions of Business for Sellers. (e) All packing and handling of lots is at the Buyer’s risk. KT will not be liable for any acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers. 9. Remedies for non-payment Without prejudice to any rights that the Seller may have, if the Buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment for the lot within 5 working days of the auction, KT may in its sole discretion exercise 1 or more of the following remedies:(a) store the lot at its premises or elsewhere at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense; (b) cancel the sale of the lot; (c) set off any amounts owed to the Buyer by KT against any amounts owed to KT by the Buyer for the lot; (d) reject future bids from the Buyer; (e) charge interest at 4% per annum above The Bank of England’s Base Rate from the Payment Date to the date that the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (f) re-sell the lot by auction or privately, with estimates and reserves at KT’s discretion, in which case the Buyer will be liable for any shortfall between the original Purchase Price and the amount achieved on re-sale, including all costs incurred in such re-sale; (g) exercise a lien over any Buyer’s Property in KT’s possession, applying the sale proceeds to any amounts owed by the Buyer to KT. KT shall give the Buyer 14 days written notice before exercising such lien; (h) commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price for the lot, plus interest and legal costs; (i) disclose the Buyer’s details to the Seller to enable the Seller to commence legal proceedings. 10. Failure to collect purchases (a) If the Buyer pays the Purchase Price but does not collect the lot within 14 working days of the auction, the lot will be stored at the Buyer’s expense and risk at KT’s premises or in independent storage. (b) If a lot is paid for but uncollected within 6 months of the auction, following 60 days written notice to the Buyer, KT will re-sell the lot by auction or privately, with estimates and reserves at KT’s discretion. The sale proceeds, less all KT’s costs, will be forfeited unless collected by the Buyer within 2 years of the original auction. 11. Data Protection (a) KT will use information supplied by Bidders or otherwise obtained lawfully by KT for the provision of auction related services, client administration, marketing and as otherwise required by law. (b) By agreeing to these Conditions of Business, the Bidder agrees to the processing of their personal information and to the disclosure of such information to third parties world-wide for the purposes outlined in Condition 11(a) and to Sellers as per Condition 9(i). 12. Miscellaneous (a) All images of lots, catalogue descriptions and all other materials produced by KT are the copyright of KT. (b) These Conditions of Business are not assignable by any Buyer without KT’s prior written consent, but are binding on Bidders’ successors, assigns and representatives. (c) The materials listed in Condition 1(a) set out the entire agreement between the parties. (d) If any part of these Conditions of Business be held unenforceable, the remaining parts shall remain in full force and effect. (e) These Conditions of Business shall be interpreted in accordance with English Law, under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts, in favour of KT.

KERRY TAYLOR AUCTIONS LTD AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price.

Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work. Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably
expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd’s reasonable opinion); or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description. To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.
Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field. Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd.
