Kerry Taylor was one of the youngest auctioneers in Sotheby’s history and worked with them for over 20 years before leaving to found her own independent auction house specializing in costumes and textiles. And each sale is a veritable treasure trove of some of the finest vintage clothing and fashion collectibles on the planet!

Today’s VPOD features Lot #1205 from her upcoming auction on Tuesday October 27 in London. This 1930s backless beaded evening gown with its ostrich-trimmed ivory damask cape is simply stunning.

And don’t worry if you fall in love with something because you can always arrange to bid by phone or online.

It’s a very exciting auction event for a vintage fashionista!
