So much so that it even has its own Wikipedia page. It was specifically created for the actress and singer<strong> Jane Birkin<\/strong> by <strong>Herm\u00e8s <\/strong>in 1984. Since then, the bag has been released in countless versions and sold for thousands of euros (on a waiting list) by the French fashion house. While it was originally designed to meet the star\u2019s needs, she wanted a chic, but above all practical, tote bag.

In 2022, the dress made the headlines once again at the MET Gala. <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/movies\/which-iconic-actress-will-direct-kim-kardashian-in-a-netflix-comedy\/\">Kim Kardashian<\/a> wore the original design on loan from the <strong>Ripley\u2019s Believe It Or Not<\/strong> mus\u00e9um, where it is kept. Although the garment was returned almost intact &#8211; a few seams were damaged as the star moved &#8211; the media spotlight was undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1962, the ensemble recalls one of the greatest American scandals of the mid-20th century &#8211; the actress and singer&#8217;s performance for <strong>President John F. Kennedy<\/strong>\u2019s birthday in Madison Square Garden. Amid persistent rumours about their relationship, her sensual rendition of \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d in a tight, scandalously sexy dress left an indelible mark on the collective memory. That dress has repeatedly broken auction records. First in 1999, when it sold for $1.3 million in New York. Then in 2016, when it reached $4.8 million in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a45569147f98&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a45569147f98\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1000\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/lady-diana-pull-moutons-noir-vente-sothebys-new-york1.jpg\" alt=\"Princess Diana wearing her sheep jumper in June 1981.

Shy and reserved, she hadn&#8217;t developed the confidence of the future <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/non-classifiee-2\/lady-diana-in-5-iconic-outfits-2\/\">Lady Di<\/a> yet. The one who would go on to deliver countless iconic fashion statements throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Still, she was already attracting the attention of the British and international press. Just like when she attended a <strong>small polo match in Windsor<\/strong>, where her fianc\u00e9 played. Unintentionally, she launched what would become a long series of memorable looks. Out with the formal attire typically worn by members of the royal family while attending such events, Diana showed up in a <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/fashion\/why-did-lady-dianas-jumper-sell-over-a-million-dollars-2\/\">red jumper<\/a> with a white sheep pattern. Amid the crowd of white figures stood a lone black sheep\u2026 sparking a wave speculation in the press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, newspapers interpreted it as a metaphor for the <strong>young Diana Spencer<\/strong>\u2019s status within the royal family &#8211; a lone outsider adrift among the rigid protocols and cold indifference of British royalty. She was the black sheep of the royal family. While many experts hesitate to affirm that the jumper carried such symbolism for <strong>Lady Diana<\/strong> at the time, another appearance of the Princess wearing the same garment in 1983 left little room for doubt. Elevated to the rank of fashion icon, a copy of the jumper is now part of the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum&#8217;s collections. The original resurfaced at auction in September 2023. It sold for $1.1 million, well beyond its initial estimate of $50,000 to $80,000. That sale once again highlighted Diana\u2019s enduring influence on <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/category\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a>, 25 years after her tragic passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a455691483df&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a455691483df\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mode-kate-moss-naked-dress-encheres-1990s-numero-magazine5.jpg\" alt=\"Kate Moss's Naked Dress auctioned by Kerry Taylor Auctions. \u00a9 Courtesy of Kerry Taylor Auctions.\" class=\"wp-image-596795\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kate Moss&#8217;s &#8220;Naked Dress&#8221; auctioned by Kerry Taylor Auctions. \u00a9 Courtesy of Kerry Taylor Auctions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2 data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1664\"><strong data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1664\">Kate Moss\u2019s naked dress<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An icon of the 1990s and 2000s, <strong>Kate Moss<\/strong> is synonymous with countless legendary fashion statements. One in particular stands out and is all the more memorable because of the scandal it caused over thirty years ago. At just 19, the <strong>young British model<\/strong> was already gracing major magazine covers and turning heads in the most prestigious fashion houses. The rising star was attending a party hosted by her modelling agency, Elite, for the \u201cLook of the Year\u201d award. The American fashion elite gathered in their finest attire. Kate Moss opted for a<strong> long, delicate, backless, gray slip dress<\/strong> by designer <strong>Liza Bruce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minimalist in style, the so-called &#8220;naked dress&#8221; made waves. The sheer fabric revealed her black thong underneath and the dress was paired with only flip-flops and a cigarette casually held in the model\u2019s fingers\u2026 Bare-faced and with messy hair, Kate Moss would wake up the next day to find her photo in magazines everywhere across the world. The original dress has since joined the permanent collection of the <strong>Victoria &amp; Albert Museum in London<\/strong>, but a nearly identical replica caused a stir on the auction market in April 2024. Starting at \u00a3200, the piece far exceeded estimates, ultimately selling for \u00a32,200 at the <strong>auction house Kerry Taylor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a455691487d5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a455691487d5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"1000\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vetements-sacs-mode-encheres1.jpg\" alt=\"The record-breaking auction of Martin Margiela's wool suit in 2025.\" class=\"wp-image-706490\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Martin Margiela&#8217;s wool suit. \u00a9 Courtesy of Maurice Aution.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Martin Margiela\u2019s wool suit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both enigmatic and fascinating, <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/fashion\/exclusive-interview-with-martin-margiela-the-most-discreet-designer-of-his-time\/\">Martin Margiela<\/a> has left a lasting mark in the history of fashion.

That was clearly last January, when<strong> Maurice Auction<\/strong> organized its latest <strong>auction<\/strong>. It featured items from the private collection of sisters Angela and Elena Picozzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sale included 270 lots by the designer, ranging from paper patterns and sketches to garments from the <strong>Martin Margiela<\/strong>\u2019s earliest shows. All of them were sold. The highlight of the sale was the black-and-white polka-dot wool suit from the <strong>Spring\/Summer 1990 collection<\/strong>.
