When fashion people have a wardrobe clear-out you won’t find their cast-offs on any old auction website. Not if you’re Suzy Menkes anyway, who is currently selling a selection of her old clothes via Christie’s. 

And of course, if you’re Suzy Menkes, one of the most prolific fashion journalists of the last few decades, the unworn items in your wardrobe won’t be ill-advised sale purchases from a time when you were inexplicably into rhinestones.

There are pieces from every important designer going, including 1960s Yves Saint Laurent, Versace from the Gianni days, Ossie Clarke’s 70s boho, and this wonderful Hermes printed jacket, which not only features an amazing print, but is completely right for now, what with style-nostalgia’s 90s inclination. 

The auction’s on for the next ten days, so get your bids in now.
