105 says Cator. "This summer, the auctions are an opportunity to celebrate Hubert de Givenchy as one of the greatest ambassadors of French taste and to tell his story of the art of living, collecting, and the elegance he sought to capture in all things." Givenchy founded his fashion house in Paris in 1952, dressing such legendary women as Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Onassis, and Bunny Mellon — three women who particularly contributed to Givenchy's fame, and he to theirs. Highlights from the collection will go on tour in New York (April 8 – 13), and Hong Kong (May 23 – 26); the live sale will be held in Paris June 14 through 17, and the online sale runs June 8 through 23.
