Fashion icon Jerry Hall auctioned off some of her most valuable dresses last week and raised $54,600 for Emmaus, a community in which former homeless people live and work.
As reported earlier, the auction included the knee-length Anthony Price white lace wedding dress she wore for her wedding to Mick Jagger in 1990 in Bali, and was held at Sotheby’s in London.
The dress was expected to raise $1000 but was bought by Rellik, a London-based vintage boutique, for $4717.
“I am so pleased that my old things have been recycled into £28,000 for Emmaus,” said the 51-year-old.
A Vivienne Westwood diamante studded jacket estimated at $1000 sold for $3000, and an Antony Price black velvet ball gown sold for $2000.
