Princess Diana’s famous “black sheep” sweater is one of several items currently up for auction at Sotheby’s in New York for their inaugural Fashion Icons sale.
Diana wore the red sweater with a pattern of white sheep and one black sheep to a polo match in 1981 while she was engaged to then-Prince Charles.
“The sweater’s been tucked away in an attic for more than 40 years,” Frank Everett, Sotheby’s senior VP and sales director for jewelry, told “Today” on Wednesday. “We love a discovery story in the auction world.”
