Pierre Cardin "Satellite" Cape was sold at the "Resurrection: Avant-Garde Fashion," auction which took place at Christie's South Kensington, London, sale room on Oct. 30 2008.
This bright, shiny bubble of a cape--made out of red patent vinyl--does little for the female form. Instead, it captures Cardin's space-age style, a signature look of the 1960s.
Estimated to go for: $6,400 - $9,600 (4,000 - 6,000 British pounds) Price Realized: $8,300 (5,000 British pounds).
