The McQueen pieces, they were very close friends, so the McQueen pieces are really really special. They're one-offs made for her,\" Taylor said Thursday (2 JUNE 2016).The dresses up for grabs are some of the most iconic that Bjork has ever worn - minus the infamous swan dress she modelled at the Oscars.Alexander McQueen designs take front and center in the collection.One is the Japanese-inspired costume from the cover of the singer's 1997 \"Homogenic\" album.Another is a dress covered in thousands of hand-sewn tinkling bells that was made by especially for her music video for \"Who Is It?\" in 2004.\"Bjork's Alexander McQueen designed bell dress from 2004 is just incredible because it's like a sculpture. It's more than just something to wear,\" said Taylor.The dress is expected to fetch between £10,000 and £15,000 (U.K. sterling).Another major designer that aligned her vision with Bjork's was Dutch designer Iris van Herpen, whose outfits have also taken the fashion world by storm.\"Her dresses again, they take three to four months to make.

SOUNDBITE (English) Kerry Taylor, auctioneer - on the uniqueness of the collection:\"I think the collections that are most unique are those possibly that have come from some of our celebrities. So we have dresses worn by Princess Diana, we have the amazing, out of this world wardrobe from Bjork and we have superb haute couture from people like Christian Dior from 1948, really early, to Paul Poiret, the King of haute couture from the 1920s. We have 18th century fashion, we have King Charles II's christening robes, we have the most extraordinary collection of things. And I gathered them from across the globe. I traveled to America - all over Europe to put this sale together.\"12. Close-up of black Bjork dress, with pull out13. Medium shot Iris van Herpen Bjork dresses14.

SOUNDBITE (English) Kerry Taylor, auctioneer - on the celebrity status of the auction collection:\"Well with Bjork we'll see because there's never really been an auction of Bjork's collection before, so it's going to be exciting and interesting to see what happens. The McQueen pieces, they were very close friends, so the McQueen pieces are really, really special. They're one-offs made for her. And then we have a young Dutch designer, Iris van Herpen, and her dresses again, they take three to four months to make. They're all hand-cut and laser-cut. And again they're like sculptures. They've never been on the open market before. So, we're obviously hoping for them to make thousands, but just how many it remains to be seen. Because although I can put presale estimates, it's not until I bring the gavel down on the sale day itself that we know 'Right, that's what the piece is actually worth.'\"17.
