Following stops in Hong Kong, New York and Ireland, the collection of dresses, suits, hats, bags, shoes, as well as letters and holiday cards, landed at The Peninsula Beverly Hills incollectors and certainly off of the success of the sale, we were able to elicit a lot more excitement and people who came to us saying that they wanted to participate in a really special auction, which was also how we were able to amass more property,” explained Gabriela Schwartz, head of fashion and talent...
The standout in apparel is a strapless, midnight blue Murray Arbeid tulle grown adorned with silver stars, estimated between $200,000 and $400,000. It was worn by Princess Diana twice in 1986, at the premiere of “The Phantom of the Opera” in London and at a dinner at Claridge’s for King Constantine of Greece, and a third time in 1997 for her charity auction.Princess Diana was often photographed in the same looks through the years.
Kurt Geiger’s jeweled emerald-colored satin heel with a multicolor crystal bow was worn by Princess Diana to a state banquet at the Dorchester Hotel in London in 1993.“She was the people’s princess, and she really cared about being charitable and learning about other people’s cultures and traveling the world that we felt that it was appropriate and it made sense to travel the world with her and to go to places where she was celebrated and that she had impact,” Schwartz said.
