The Millon auction house is presenting "Chantal Thomass' 40 years Of Fashion", an auction and exhibition dedicated to the most emblematic pieces of the famous fashion designer's unique, offbeat, freewheeling and irreverent style.

More than just a sale, it is a retrospective of her work and visions of femininity in the 1980s and 90s, which collectors and enthusiasts will be able to discover.
