The model's history-making slip is part of a larger sale from the London-based Kerry Taylor Auctions.
announced today that the public will be able to bid on an iteration of Kate Moss’s infamous see-through outfit she famously wore back in the early ’90s.
The look in question is a diaphanous spaghetti strap dress that Moss slipped into for a 1993 Elite Model Agency party in London. She styled the dress, from the American designer Liza Bruce’s spring 1994 collection, with nothing but a teensy black thong, a bare face, and a tousled updo. Oh, and a half-smoked cigarette. The resulting images of the super would prove to be one of her more memorable off-duty looks and a reference point for fashion’s current obsession with sheer fabric.
The Auction House explained that the dress up for sale isn’t the exact one Moss wore but an identical version from the collection of a former Liza Bruce employee. Reportedly, Bruce only designed a handful of these metallic slip dresses, one of which is included in the collection of London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. The London auction house expects to receive between £200 to £300 for the slip when it goes up for auction on April 14th. A steal, if you ask us.
Of course, if you were a Hollywood starlet who wanted to make headlines with a red carpet moment that is both scandalously sheer and a homage to a piece of celebrity style history, this opportunity is practically priceless.
