Sotheby’s Auctions Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's Fashion Items

Sotheby’s is set to auction three iconic pieces from Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's wardrobe, including a vintage faux-leopard coat, a Prada black wool coat, and a Yohji Yamamoto jacket. The auction opens on November 27 and runs until December 17, with the items consigned by RoseMarie Terenzio, Bessette-Kennedy's close friend and former assistant to John F. Kennedy Jr. These garments, reflective of Bessette-Kennedy's minimalist style and practical fashion choices, are expected to fetch over $50,000. Lucy Bishop, a Sotheby’s fashion specialist, emphasized the garments' significance in capturing the essence of Bessette-Kennedy's life and fashion influence. The auction coincides with the ongoing resurgence of interest in her style, which embodies '90s minimalism and quiet luxury.
