Lurid and Fashionable Auction

CHEN: Avant garde fashion prepares to go under the hammer at Christie’s auction house in New York. What’s new and different, well the materials range from metallic strips, hooks, beads, plastic, lurex and rubber. Here’s more. STORY: Fancy a Paco Rabanne metal wedding dress, a Pierre Cardin bubble cape in red “wet look’ plastic, or perhaps this dress made with acrylic strips in tangerine by Paco Rabanne? All the top designers of the 21st century, such as Emilio Pucci, YSL and Gianni Versace have some of their strangest works in the collection which dates from the 1950′s. Simon Andrews is the head Design Specialist for Christie’s Auction House in London. [Simon Andrews, Christie's Specialist]: “The thing we have to acknowledge is that it is a unique collection and the material we have is unobtainable these days. The collection was built up over 12 years so I would expect the strongest possible interest.” This tailored architecturally minimalist collection belongs to Mark Haddawy and Katy Rodriguez, who globetrotted over the past two decades, to gather the garments. [Mark Haddawy, Collector]: “Its a unique collection in that there are a lot of different designers represented in the collection but there is a common thread that runs through the collection and that is that the clothing really pushes the envelope of fashion and errs on the side of of the avant garde.” The “Resurrection” collection, which includes 1950s rebellious youth style, and the Art Deco and psychedelic

Bob Hope Estate Auction: Preview 1

Collector and museum quality items from the life, career and estate of the legendary Bob Hope will be sold during a live televised and real-time online auction presented by the Auction Network (auctionnetwork.com) on Oct. 18-19, 2008 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. Proceeds from this auction will benefit the Bob and Dolores Hope Charitable Foundation. Hope’s extraordinary career spanned Vaudeville, Broadway, radio, television and film, and his numerous USO tours to entertain US military troops earned him the admiration of generations of fans around the world. Highlights include: a one page letter dated October 23, 1943 from Bette Davis to Hope; a red and white feathered Indian headdress worn by Hope on the cover of “Life Magazine” on May 11, 1962; a Movado watch inscribed “To Bob Hope in sincere appreciation: The Cleveland Press Christmas Show 1944″; and a turquoise western suit made by Nudies of North Hollywood and worn by Hope on several television shows including “Barbara Mandrell,” “Mandrell Sisters Show” and “Ann Margaret Rhinestone Special.”

Bugatti Veyron sells for £625000 at auction

This is the first ever Bugatti Veyron to face an auction hall due to the fact that the previous owner of the rare hypercar lost everything due to the recession including his business, house and his prized Bugatti which Lloyds TSB are selling off at auction. I was lucky enough to attend this event held in BCA British Car Auctions in Blackbushe, Surrey. The sale was part of a number of prestige motors up for grabs including Ferrari F430s, 360s, Vantages, Vanquishs, DB9s etc… The car has only covered 13000klms from new and was registered in 2006 at Jack Barclay in London. The specification is the best I have ever seen on a Veyron, dark metallic blue body with silver wings complemented by a azzuro blue leather interior. A stunning car no less. I filmed the whole auction process so you can see how the starting bid of half a million soon ended up at the £625000 winning bid. A very intense and exciting few minutes I find personally. I hope you enjoy. All filming and pictures by me. The music is ‘Rappers Delight’ by The Sugar Hill Gang. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE SOUNDTRACK OR MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO.
