Yves Saint Laurent created his ‘Love’ cards for thirty years (1970-2000) as ‘cartes de voeux’ to send New Year’s greetings to his friends and colleagues. Each year he would design a bright and bold collage to accompany the word ‘Love’, which remained his chosen message of good will. This collection of cards were sent to Michael Morris, who was the UK license holder for YSL menswear worldwide during the period. He informs us that the missing years were when YSL was unwell. £1500 - 2000 17 An original Yves Saint Laurent fashion sketch, Spring-Summer 1977 couture, signed, pencil and ink, the model’s ensemble with wide sash tied low on her hips, 12 by 32cm and in frame; together with original newspaper feature, dated January 26th 1976 (2)

ROYALTY 28 A rare ivory satin doublet and hose worn to the coronation of King George IV, 19th July, 1821, the doublet’s front panels adorned with couched gilt threads in diamond repeats in ‘van-dyke’ fringed vertical bands, domed bullion covered buttons, the mancherons, sleeves and tabbed hem applied with gilt braid and lace, high stand collar, rosettes to the shoulders; with matching trunk hose, chest approx 97cm, 38in, waist 112cm, 44in (2)
The lavish and expensive costumes worn by the aristocracy to attend George IV’s coronation were Elizabethan/Jacobean themed to recall England’s past heritage. George was held in low esteem at the time due to his treatment of his estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick, and his attempts to divorce her. She unsuccessfully attempted to participate in the event. Parliament voted the astonishing sum of £240,000 towards the cost of the ceremony (George III’s coronation had only cost £70,000) in the hopes that it would rekindle his popularity.

The Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, married Danish Princess Alexandra on the 10th March 1863 at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. He was 21, and she 18. Their marriage was popular and promoted in the British press as a love match. Presumably this dress was made to wear at a celebratory party. £300 - 500

33 Princess Margaret’s Horrockses Fashions printed cotton summer dress, 1967, with ‘By Royal Appointment’ label, comprising: short strapless sundress with boned bodice and matching button-backed overbodice with bow to neck, bust 86cm, 34in, waist 61cm, 24in; together with a newspaper clipping and a Daily Mail supplement showing the Princess wearing the ensemble with Lord Snowdon on a visit to the Bahamas in 1967 (4)
Provenance: Between 1990 and 2001 the vendor’s father was head gardener at Alanbay Park when it was owned by The Hon Mrs Jean Wills (née Bowes-Lyon) and Major John Wills (of Wills tobacco fame). Mrs Wills was first cousin to HM the Queen and a Lady in Waiting to HRH Princess Margaret and they regularly played host to the royal family. This dress was included in a bundle of old clothes belonging to Princess Margaret that Mrs Wills had been asked to sort through and either to donate to charity or burn. The vendor’s mother picked out this particular dress thinking her daughter (who would have been a teenager at the time) might like it. Suffice to say the young girl declared she ‘wouldn’t be seen dead in it’ and it has remained in a drawer wrapped in tissue paper ever since. £400 - 600

53 A rare Paul Poiret ensemble for his famous One Thousand and Second Night party, 10th January 1914, large woven Poiret label, the back annotated in ink ‘45.278 - Mme Barachin Germaine, Robe de la Reine de Perse’, comprising: fuchsia velvet harem pants with attached nude organza bodice richly overlaid with bands of Russian silver bobbin lace, with pearl beaded ankle bands; worn under a cloth of silver tunic with long trained hem, raised fuchsia velvet botehs embroidered in silver thread and seed pearls to the chest closure, entirely edged in large pearl beads; the elaborate conical cloth of gold headdress adorned with emerald and sapphire ‘jewelled’ medallions, with wing-shaped wired silver lace side panels and earring-like pearl droplets to each side, topped by ostrich plumes, bust 86cm, 34in (3)
53
In his memoir 'King of Fashion' 1931 pp9899, Poiret wrote 'It was on returning from a Bal des Quat'Z'Arts, in the month of May 1911, I think, that I decide to give, in my salons and gardens in Paris, an unforgettable fête, that I called 'The Thousand and Second Night''. He was aided and abetted by his close friend Raoul Dufy. Poiret described how, on the night, his guests had their costumes vetted and if they had arrived in evening dress or fancy dress that bore no relation to his Persian theme they were requested to go upstairs and change into costumes that he had thoughtfully provided, but if they refused then they were asked to leave. Mademoiselle Barachin obviously wanted to look her best and commissioned Monsieur Poiret himself to make her costume. She was rewarded by being dressed by the couturier as 'the Queen of Persia', which was surely a great compliment. His own beautiful wife, Madame Denise Poiret, was dressed as the 'Queen of the Harem'. She was ensconced in a large gilded cage surrounded by her 'ladies of honour'. His guests were treated to a lavish party such as had never been seen before with orchestras, dancers, exotic food, the trees covered with' luminous fruit', exotic birds and monkeys, who all escaped in the dawn over the roof tops of Paris. Poiret himself, was dressed as the Sultan of course. He described how at the beginning of the evening, when all of his 300 guests (composed of artists and 'sensitive amateurs') were assembled, he opened the gate to the cage to restore his 'favourite's freedom'...'She flew out like a bird and I in pursuit of her, cracking my useless whip. She was lost in the crowd.. Did we know, on that evening that we were rehearsing the drama of our lives?'. Poiret sadly recalled, 'These fêtes, in which I gathered together all my friends, did me a great deal of harm among my enemies, and raised against me those who had not the good fortune to be admitted to them.' This opulent party was seen in retrospect as a last great 'hurrah' before World War I was declared later in June that year. Poiret's business post war, with his love of excess, orientalism and fantasy was never to fully recover in a world irrevocably changed by war.

113 A midnight-blue velvet evening jacket, probably Schiaparelli London, AutumnWinter, 1938, unlabelled, embroidered in gilt strip and wire, with deep pink and clear beads, with gold and blue sequin detailing, fastened by simple concealed hooks and eyes, lined in blue silk crêpe de chine, bust 92cm, 36in
The velvet on this jacket was embroidered to shape but, unlike the Paris version with scalloped front edges, the closure line does not follow the embroidery but is straight. It is fastened by a series of small hooks and eyes - the loops bear the remains of blue silk buttonhole stitched covers (something Schiap often did). The embroidery on this jacket is similar but not identical to the Paris haute couture version, lot 109. On the Paris version the metal strip is horizontal and regular but on this version the strip follows the shape of the leaf forms. A Schiaparelli London burgundy velvet ensemble in the Victoria & Albert Museum, acc.no T398&A-1974, of identical design has a more free style of embroidery like this one. Schiaparelli London often adapted the Paris models for a perhaps more conservative British clientele. It is possible that the client did not want the eye-catching star shaped medallions down the front, or the bulk of small pockets or shoulder pads that the Paris example has. £1500 - 2500

It took place on the 18th March 1985, at The Pillar Hall, Olympia, London, at 6.30pm and 8pm such was the interest that it had to be shown twice. The looks were unisex. The clothes, which some buyers described as ‘experimental’, were beautifully made and of expensive fabrics. Deborah Bulleid, his assistant at the time remembers:

238 & 247
‘John agonised over the Linton Tweeds woollen suiting fabric with white mohair checks because it was so perfect. He thought it resembled a bird’s eye view of ploughed fields, with the tufts of mohair representing the sheep’s fleece caught in hedges. He kept asking - ‘but can we afford it?’. In the end he couldn’t resist it.’

Women’s Wear Daily didn’t approve this collection. Their post-show review described: ‘Clothes that are mind boggling…Imagine if you will skirts that look a bit like jackets with a pair of sleeves dangling down the back…Skirts, jackets and coats with projectiles of fabric that have simply no reason for being. It all adds up to a look that is at once confusing and pure folly’ (WWD 19.3.1985) Provenance: One of the models in the show that was paid in clothes. £2500 - 3500 240

This very strong design statement from McQueen's last collection reflects his interest in the macabre and his love of Old Master paintings. 'I relate to that cold, austere asceticism of the Flemish masters, and I also love the macabre thing you see in Tudor and Jacobean portraiture' (Savage Beauty, Metropolitan Museum catalogue, and full page illustration, pp92,93) In an interview with his mother in 2004, McQueen declared, that his favourite artworks were those of 15th century Flemish and Dutch painters, 'because of the colours, because of the sympathetic way they approached life...I think they were very modern for their times'. Decorative print elements for this dress were carefully chosen from three of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings - all depicting monstrous scenes from hell. Great care was taken to select and merge motifs from different Bosch paintings on the main front bodice panel. The iconography taken from the paintings are as follows - 'The Garden of Heavenly Delights' (c.1500) with a large pink bagpipe (using music as a form of punishment) the motif humorously located on the lower back panel above the skirt, as well as a bird swallowing a man on the front bodice; 'The Temptation of St Anthony' (c.1501) - a fish dressed as a cardinal used on the front bodice; and a woman peeping from a tree (lower front panel above skirt); 'The Last Judgement' (c.1482 or later) - a speared egg on legs, a body slithering with snakes and a dragon peering into a barrel with a cowering figure barrel - all used on the main back panel. The black scale-effect sequined tracery is redolent of Renaissance embossed velvet patterns, the rich gold leaf of illuminated manuscripts or the gold threads used in finely worked orphrey panels. It is only upon close inspection that it is noticed that the dress whilst undeniably beautiful, incorporates individual design elements intended to caution and admonish potential sinners. This model is also illustrated full page in 'Alexander McQueen' V&A publications, p164. This was look no 2 in the show. £8000 - 12000 END OF SALE

Purchased lots are at the Buyer’s risk from the earliest of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the auction.

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.

The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable.

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 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.
