McQueen and Biba at auction

Bonhams plans to auction furniture from the legendary Biba store on Kensington High Street and two

Alexander McQueen dresses from the autumn 2007 “Salem Witch” collection later this month in London.

The sale, dubbed Vision 21, will offer a quirky mix of merchandise ranging from mannequins and light fittings created for the store in the early Seventies to a library ladder to a display stand in the shape of a gray Weimaraner dog. The stand is the priciest piece in the Biba collection and is estimated to fetch between £5,000 and £7,000 pounds. The McQueen dresses are the first to be sold at auction since the designer’s death in February. A gold-sequined number carries an estimated price of £12,000 to £18,000 pounds. The other dress is made of peacock feathers, and its estimate is £10,000 to £14,000 pounds. All of the items will go under the hammer in London on June 30.
