Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr Announces Two Major Fashion Sales in Paris Featuring Rare Footwear and Haute Couture
Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr presents two landmark fashion sales in Paris. The online auction Choose Your Shoes: The Art of Dressing Your Feet runs from April 2 to 15 on bonhams.com and features footwear from 1900 to the 1990s including examples by Roger Vivier, Christian Dior, André Courrèges, Paco Rabanne and Martin Margiela. The live sale Haute Couture & Vintage a Fashion Story takes place on April 14, 2026 and offers garments by Elsa Schiaparelli, Chanel, Christian Dior, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent and others.
The Signal
The sales position fashion as a collectible category with pieces that have entered museum collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. For collectors the offerings provide documented provenance and price points that reflect craftsmanship across decades while highlighting specific designers and periods that have established secondary-market value. The dual format allows direct comparison between accessory and garment categories within a single house program.
