Julien's Auctions Opens Bidding for Michael Jackson and Princess Diana Fashion Collections Ahead of Abu Dhabi Sales
Julien's Auctions, based in Los Angeles, announced on November 9 that full catalogues are live and bidding is open for three marquee auctions: Michael Jackson: The Fashion Legacy; Princess Diana: Influence, Fashion, & A Royal Collection; and Pop Culture Legends. The live sales will take place December 7 to 9 during the inaugural Celebrity & Pop Culture Experience at Rosewood Abu Dhabi.
The Jackson sale brings together more than 100 pieces tied to his stage image, including costumes worn on stage, in music videos and personally, created by his longtime designers Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush; a book-signing tour with Bush is also planned. The Diana sale features gowns worn by the late princess, including designs by Catherine Walker and Victor Edelstein.
Highlights from the three sales have toured internationally, with U.S. stops in Los Angeles, Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture and New York, and overseas stops in Osaka, Japan, and at the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge, Ireland. A pop-up exhibition is also planned at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week.
Julien’s Auctions CEO Ken Citron said the event marks the auction house’s first celebrity-collection program of this scale in the region. Bidding is open through the auction house’s website, with catalogues available online.
