Hong Kong: Shoulder-padded, daffodil yellow and accented with gleaming gold buttons -- a very of-its-time suit Princess Diana wore during her 1989 trip to Hong Kong is now among six outfits on display in the former British colony.
The collection of dresses, shoes and handbags -- some of which are familiar fashion moments from the Princess of Wales -- is part of a 12-day exhibit at a Hong Kong mall which launched Thursday.
They will then be on display in Ireland at another exhibit before going on auction on June 27.
"She made a fashion statement every time she got dressed and went out the door," Martin Nolan, executive director of California-based Julien's Auctions, told AFP.
