Have you heard the story of The Dandy King? His name was Joachim Murat, he was a brother-in-law to Napoleon, a military man, and particularly fond of creating flamboyant uniforms for himself, often adorned with feather plumes in his hat. Napoleon referred to him as a circus director due to this, even though Murat is described in history books as one of the finest cavalry officers.
It's a story of well-dressed men. History is full of them. Once upon a time, they wore top hats and frock coats. Today, it looks different. However, the interest in men's fashion can arguably be said to have never been greater than it is now. And at Stockholms Auktionsverk, you can now get a dose of that self-confidence that only a perfectly fitting outfit can provide.
In the theme "Manly Elegance - A Collection of Louis Vuitton," the world's oldest auction house presents highly contemporary fashion (though it's also timeless) from one of the world's most famous fashion houses, featuring a selection of 38 lots. One of these is a Shearling Embossed Monogram Jacket in camel-colored suede with a sheepskin collar. Another is a Damier Car Coat, designed by Virgil Abloh. And a third consists of cufflinks in sterling silver, cleverly designed as locks with accompanying keys.
But these are just three highlights from an auction that also includes shoes, sweaters, scarves, desk accessories (!), and a Nomade Pilot/File Case that has many of the things referred to as the little extra. You are warmly welcome to experience "Manly Elegance - A Collection of Louis Vuitton" at Stockholms Auktionsverk!
By the way, what happened to The Dandy King? Well, he became Marshal of France and King of Naples. But as mentioned, he is most famous for his elegant dress style. Such things can be quite important.
Please note! Won lots can be collected at Stockholms Auktionsverk, Nybrogatan 32 until Monday 27 November. From Wednesday 29 November, lots can be collected at Stockholms Auktionsverk, Magasin 5, Palermogatan 19, Stockholm.
