Kerry Taylor Auctions’ next sale on December 8th will include a collection of clothes that belonged to Audrey Hepburn. They are, strictly speaking, hand-me-downs that she gave to her longtime friend Tanja Star Busmann after she was done with them. Also included is the wedding dress made for Hepburn’s planned nuptials to James Hanson which she called off. At her request, the dress, created by the Fontana sisters, was given to a “beautiful, poor Italian girl.” The bride kept it in a box for her happily married life and it was recently recovered for a Fontana retrospective.
