Sotheby's is delighted to announce the sale of some 130 couture and ready-to-wear items from the wardrobe of 60s iconic film star Claudia Cardinale, widely regarded as one of the greatest actresses of her day. This online auction will be an opportunity to acquire garments worn by the actress in her day-to-day life, in some of her great screen roles, as well as at international film events. |
Together, the auction and its related exhibition will celebrate Italian fashion from the late 1950s through to the early 1980s with dresses created by Emilio Schuberth, Roberto Capucci, Irene Galitzine, Barocco and Balestra.
