On May 18th, the Leslie Hindeman Auction in Chicago will be selling a huge collection of clothing and shoes from the Helmsley estate.

http://www.lesliehindman.com/

"Helmsley’s penchant for extravagance is reflected in her wardrobe being offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers. Her taste for the finest garments is reiterated in the dozens of custom designed, handmade evening gowns created for Helmsley by her personal seamstress. These one-of-a-kind garments, which feature impeccable construction, the finest fabrics, and extraordinary details and finishing required a full-time dressmaker, custom-made dress forms, and a workspace that occupied the third floor of one wing of Helmsley’s lavish Greenwich, Conn., estate. Other notable items include gowns by Bob Mackie, ten fur coats, and hundreds of pairs of Ferragamo heels."

The catalog comes out May 1st - don't miss it, kids...
