Yasmin le Bon sells rare designer pieces from her wardrobe

Yasmin Le Bon has teamed up with Vestiaire Collective to sell selected pieces from her own wardrobe.

The sale is the first of the vintage platform's archive collector series where style icons open their wardrobes and sell their personal treasures.

Describing them as her own personal 'works of art', the 27 pieces include a Chanel dress from 2006 which she wore to the Elle Style Awards, a knitted black Alaia dress and a selection of white Alaia shirts which the late Tunisian-born designer Azzedine Alaia gave to her, an Emilio Pucci shirt, a pair of leopard print Manolo Blahnik stilettos, and two Chanel gold sequin-shift-style dresses she wore to a pre-Bafta Awards party in 2009.

Altogether, the pieces in the archive consist of vintage finds she has been collecting since she was just 19 years old, but above all gifts that she got over the years from the designers and kept carefully.

'I'm sad to give away all these things,' the 80s supermodel said. 'But it's the right decision, my clothes have always stood for certain periods in my life, my sense of independence and happy memories, but many things have changed since then and I just do not wear them often enough.'

The Yasmin le Bon archive is available on vestiairecollective.com along with prices ranging from 175 pounds - 1,200 pounds.
