They were the first of the designer's creations since his suicide in February to be auctioned. It took place in London at Bonhams auction house yesterday but unfortunately they did not sell. (Why, I have no clue. But if I had the money for both they'd be sold.) The dresses are from his "Salem Witch" Fall/Winter 2007 collection. The gold sequined one (right) was worn by Australian pop star Holly Valance at the Brit Awards just days after McQueens death, it was valued at $17,939 to $26,905. The peacock feather one (left - I think its one of my favorites by McQueen) was valued at $14,949 to $20,923.
