Who knew a simple chiffon dress would fetch more at auction than a Roger Vivier shoe made for a princess? This week, the black and white dress Amy Winehouse wore on the cover of her Grammy award winning album, Back to Black, sold at auction for $68,000, more than twice what was expected. The dress, designed by the London based Disaya, was actually bought by a museum in Santiago, Chile and the proceeds from the sale will go to the Amy Winehouse foundation. Meanwhile, in Paris last night, the shoes Roger Vivier designed for Princess Soraya of Iran almost fifty years ago sold for a little less than half that, $26,385. Which would you rather have in your closet?
