With more than a hundred films to her credit, Catherine Deneuve is one of the greatest French actresses. Known worldwide for her many outstanding roles, she is the muse of directors as much as of creators. Since her debut in the cinema, she has dazzled with her talent and her style as timeless as it is elegant.

So wise in the Umbrellas of Cherbourg, it is in 1967 with the film Belle de jour by Luis Buñuel, dressed by Yves Saint Laurent and shod by Roger Vivier that she will mark the spirits, so that some of her outfits have become fashion references from the seventh art.

The love of fashion and beautiful shoes seems to have never left Catherine Deneuve who has always recognized it: “I'm crazy about shoes! I admire people who know how to bring objects to life. I like flat shoes, Chanel ballerinas in beige or in bright colors and heels… ” Madame Figaro 1989.

In satin, patent leather or suede, with open or pointed toes, with small or high heels, sober in black or extroverted in fuchsia, this selection should delight lovers of beautiful shoes.

A session which notably consists of nearly twenty-five lots signed Yves Saint-Laurent, such as a superb pair of Opyum pumps in black patent leather whose structured heels take up the famous interlaced initials of the House (estimate: 100 / € 120) or Tribute platform sandals estimated at € 80/120, a great classic from Saint-Laurent.

We will also find around twenty pairs stamped Prada like red suede sandals worn by the actress during the Cannes Film Festival in 2013 for the screening of the film “The Bastards”, estimated at € 70/90.

The sale will close as we finish a look: with a black leather Jil Sander tote (estimate € 150/250), a Saint-Laurent purse and a Roger Vivier cigarette case to slip inside.
