An auction of fashion icon Andre Leon Talley’s belongings brought huge prices on Wednesday, with items selling for many times the estimates. His Norma Kamali red puffer coat was priced at $500-$800 and went for $25,200; a silk cape listed at $3,000-$5,000 sold for more than $20,000. Someone paid $32,000 for a Horst P. Horst’s potrait of Diana Vreeland clad in red, 10 times the estimate, adding to a total haul of $1.4 million. Talley, the first black creative director at Vogue, died a year ago.
