The Museum of Contemporary Art in LA will feature an exhibition of the Collection of the late Elizabeth Taylor.

The iconic actress passed away in March.

During her lifetime, the actress had amassed am amazing collection of Jewels, art and couture.

Many of these pieces are slated for auction through Christie’s, New York (December) and later in London (February).

Prior to these sales, the catalog of items may be viewed by the public via an international tour including: London, Geneva, Hong Kong and Moscow—-as well as the aforementioned premiere in LA. (be still our heart) Gotta love them caftans……

Included in the array will be the celebrated 33.19 carat diamond!!!!!!! Bling Bling….. that Richard Burton gave to Elizabeth Taylor upon one of their umpteen engagements. But even if you aren’t in the market for a bauble of that size, there are other items to be listed:

Christie’s dedicated website features some beautiful highlights.

Or splurge on an auction catalog and enjoy the entire collection in the privacy of your home, car…..post office….closet….whatever.

And if you want in on the fun of bidding, Christie’s is also offering more moderately-priced items in a special online-only auction.

Get that plastic poised! Registration for the online auction: December 3. Be there, aloha.

Whoa.
I mean: Like, Really:

Updated Thursday September 22, 2.12pm: Dolce & Gabbana has confirmed it will close its D&G line from next season and merge it with its mainline collection, making today’s fashion show the brand’s last. The move was in order to give “even more strength and energy to our collections” a statement from the designers said today.

SEE THE FINAL SHOW HERE

The spring/summer 2012 was rumoured to be the brand’s final offering during the previous Milan Fashion Week in March, WWD reported. It is understood that D&G is behind a significant portion of the company’s growth and profits, but it is hoped the merger will strengthen the Dolce & Gabbana line.

GO BACKSTAGE AT THE FINAL SHOW

Amen

As in I should have made a few trial runs because by the time I hit the store the Missoni was all-gone-y.

Yeah. Well, anyway. I apparently was not the only one as it was reported that their TARGET.com website actually crashed twice under the weight of anxious buyers filling orders of the Italian high line designer’s fare for the chain store.

Their displayed range included children’s wear, housewares, barrettes, hats, tights, lingerie, and their famed knits scaled to quasi affordable proportions, and based on the coupon that YYC received upon checkout, apparently a sheet set only available ON LINE. Mamma Mia.

Shoppers apparently cleaned the racks as fast as they were filled and by the close of business EST (10PM) only odd sizes and scattered items could be snuffled out next to dressing room discard bins and a few display racks.

Next time I’ll work on my aim! That said, I have a feeling that it will be readily available on eBay (for a price). Happy hunting.
