A live auction of the wardrobe of veteran French actress Catherine Deneuve designed by legendary couturier Yves Saint Laurent, has fetched around $1 million here, global auction house Christie's said.
The sale, which took place here for five hours on Thursday evening, witnessed fierce competition from around 500 registrants. It achieved a total of $1,025,581 and sell-through rates of 100 per cent, the auction house said in statement.
Each piece of haute couture or Rive Gauche clothing was a testament to the 40-year long friendship between France's most iconic actress and one of the world's most renowned couturiers, who epitomises modern French elegance.
The auction's top lot was the haute couture evening ensemble of the unique and very sought after Russian Collection, which Saint Laurent designed for the Fall/Winter collection of 1977/78.
Selling at 52,500 euros (Rs 42 lakh), it surpassed its high pre-sale estimate by 10 times.
