Kerry’s Goldmine

Yves Saint Laurent 1962

There’s a brilliant website called kerrytaylorauctions.co.uk

that has lots of fantastic photos of vintage garments and accessories. It is a real goldmine when doing research. It’s actually an auction site, advertising the items that will be on sale during the next sale in its London auction rooms.

I love taking a peek inside designer garments to see how they are made and kerrytaylorauctions.co.uk provides some interesting views. All these pics here are close-ups of haute couture pieces, note all the charming hand stitching…
