Kerry Taylor Auction: The collection of Heidemarie Garrigue-Guyonnaud, lots 109 to 131, 171, 177. This collection was formed by the celebrated beauty and model Heidemarie Balzer in the late 1960s and 1970s. She selected the garments purely for their aesthetic beauty and did not even realise that some of the couture pieces were labelled. The collection was not for display - but for her to wear. Although a German native she travelled the world and the combination of her stunning looks and superb vintage clothing made a memorable impact. A bridal gown of Cantonese embroidered silk, circa 1910, with chiffon puff sleeves, lavishly embroidered swathed silk over-dress trimmed with fringes and tassels, chemical lace trim to hem, bust approx 92cm, 36in
