Now you can own your favorite look from “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”
Christie’s global auction house will host an online auction featuring apparel and accessories from the movie. The online auction will take place at christies.com from Sept. 1 to Sept. 15, with sales benefiting the Committee to Protect Journalists and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
A free, public exhibition of the items being offered will take place at Christie’s New York at 20 Rockefeller Plaza from Sept. 8 to Sept. 13, alongside the exhibition for “Handbags Online: The September Edit” (a luxury handbag auction).
The “Devil” auction — conceived and supported by “The Devil Wears Prada 2″ star Meryl Streep, who led efforts around a charity auction of costumes after the first film — will include many fashion pieces connected to the new film, including looks worn by Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simon Ashley and Lady Gaga on screen. In addition, Christie’s, in collaboration with CFDA and CPJ, will host a cocktail party and live charity auction by invitation only at Christie’s New York during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 10, where fashion pieces and film-inspired luxury experiences will be auctioned to benefit CPJ and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund via the CFDA Foundation Inc. Rachel Koffsky Parker, Christie’s International Head of Handbags, will participate as charity auctioneer.
