There's an absolute frenzy on the auction floor right now - just about every lot is fetching over $1K, more like $2K. The estimates were at least five times too low. I suppose that makes bidding feel more accessible. I bid on several items but was razed to the ground before I knew what was happening! Oh well.

 

[Party_Vixen]

^ No surprise there. She's going to raise alot of money for such a good cause. If I had the money I would have definitely have put in a bid.

 

[Lady-Penelope]

Ok, it's all done - the auction made about $316,000 for charity. In addition to that the auction house gets about $70K in fees, payable by the buyers. That means the wardrobe of Daphne Guinness fetched about $386,000 total.

Pretty amazing!

(I misspoke about the average amount the lots were fetching - that was only at the time I was following, but through the auction there was certainly a wide range of winning bids.)

The people who won her auctions...sooo lucky! Although unless it was an accessory I wouldnt wear it, just for nostalgia's sake. Did she choose the charity/charities that would benefit from the auctions? If anyone knows who it will go to, please post.

I don't know.. compared to L'Wren (that is L'Wren next to her isn't it?) I think she looks so sad, her expression is so dominating..

according to shinystyle.tv Daphne's new place in New York has 2 walk in closets...one 14 feet deep, so she's obviously still got a lot of clothes!
