Amy Winehouse: The dress she wore to her last show sold for $ 243,000

In auction organized by the house Julien’s Auctions and her family Amy Winehouse in the Beverly Hills of Los Angeles at USA., the dress worn by the late singer at her last concert was sold for 243 thousand dollars.

The mini backless dress she put on Belgrade in June 2011, a month before he died at the age of 27 from a drug and alcohol overdose, was the focus of the auction. At the same time, other personal and professional items were available. Her family’s goal was to have a variety of prices so that her fans could get something of her own.

The dress was sold at a price 16 times higher than its original estimated value at auction Julien’s Auctions in Los Angeles, according to BBC News. In total, it is estimated that more than four million dollars were raised.

Other items sold at the auction were a red leather bag Moschino, in the shape of a heart, which the singer held in 2007 at the awards ceremony BRIT Awards. That year he won awards in the categories Best British Solo Artist and Best British Album for «Back To Black». The bag sold for $ 204,800, priced 13 times more than the estimated one and a dress Dolce & Gabbana $ 150,000, 30 times the indicative value.

All proceeds from the sale of the items will be channeled to the institution Amy Winehouse, which supports young people with addiction problems. Some of the souvenirs will be presented at the exhibition «Amy: Beyond The Stage» in the London Design Museum by November 26 and then will be delivered to collectors who purchased them.
