Hollywood gowns for sale as fair recalls design pioneer

Among the vintage items on sale at the Sydney Fair are two with genuine glamour attached to the price tag: gowns once worn by the late Hollywood actor Raquel Welch.

Welch, who died in 2023 at the age of 82, starred in dozens of films and television shows over a 50-year career, including the 1966 films Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C.

The gowns are both chocolate brown silk in a 1930s style, one by Australian-born designer Richard Tyler, and the other by US designer Norma Kamali.
