Mrs. Betty Marcus, Palm Beach, Florida Robert Yancy, inherited from his mother, Natalie Cole
1800 – 1930 The 19th century was a period of great change in the fashion industry. This period is also known as the ‘opulent era’—and rightly so! Haute Couture was born in Paris and ready-to-wear was transforming how we dress. Included in this auction are rare examples of designs by the father of haute couture, Charles Frederick Worth, as well as Emile Pingat and Jacques Doucet. These three couturiers are heralded as the greats of the opulent era of late 19th century fashion. The advent of ready-to-wear during this period saw not only designs created in standard sizing, but fabric and trimmings made in bulk and available in affordable prices. The availability of this material was aided by the new department stores and mail-order catalogues, which provided endless options of the latest styles, at reasonable prices and even delivered to your door. This auction offers numerous late 19th and early 20th century designs by American ready-to-wear manufacturers located around the United States.

1930 – 1980 Clothing is often referred to as a register of social change, as the changes in history are often reflected in what we wear. From Hollywood-inspired 1930’s gowns to glamourous post-war designs by Christian Dior or the space-age creations of the 1960s, this auction documents many of the significant changes in fashion from the 1930s to the 1970s. The end of WWII saw the rise of the American fashion designer, including notable names such as Clare McCardell, Norman Norell and James Galanos. Numerous examples from these designers are available, alongside many items by famous French designers of the period, such as Jacques Fath, Pierre Balmain and André Courrèges and lastly, the rare, Italian designs of Roberta di Camerino, amongst many others.

1980 – Today The greatest number of items in this auction are from the last forty years of fashion, including many luxury accessories from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Judith Leiber. Numerous designs document the arrival of the Japanese designers into high fashion and haute couture, with rare, museum-quality designs by Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto. A large collection of mostly unworn couture designs by Versace are available in this auction, including Atelier Versace pieces from 1993 to 2006. This collection is made of day and evening wear, ensembles and separates, including shoes, hats, belts and gloves. A close inspection of the details reveals that most garments are finished by hand, including the linings and embroidery. This range of material documents the transition in the company from mid-1990’s designs by Gianni Versace to his sister Donatella’s artistic direction from 1997.

CONDITIONS OF SALE HINDMAN LLC AS AGENT
The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Hindman LLC as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Hindman LLC and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Hindman LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Hindman LLC has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Hindman LLC before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Hindman LLC, and that Hindman LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
