Jacques Azagury, a renowned fashion designer and close friend of the late Princess of Wales, is set to auction a collection of his illustrations at Julien’s. The auction will feature designs that were never realized, offering a rare glimpse into the creative process that shaped some of the most iconic fashion moments of the late Princess’s life. Azagury has shared some of the reasons behind the unfulfilled requests, which included bold and unconventional fashion choices that would have pushed the boundaries of traditional style.
Among the pieces being auctioned are sketches and detailed designs that reflect the Princess’s unique fashion sense. Azagury, who worked closely with the Princess on several occasions, revealed that she often sought out daring and innovative designs that reflected her personality. However, some of her requests were deemed too unconventional by the fashion industry at the time, leading to the designs never being realized. The auction will take place later this year, with the proceeds benefiting a charitable cause close to the Princess’s heart.
