Princess Diana’s ‘black sheep’ jumper predicted to sell at auction for up to £70,000
A jumper worn by Diana, Princess of Wales is predicted to sell at auction for up to £70,000. The famous red and white “black sheep” sweater, which had been lost for decades, is being offered at auction for the first time at Sotheby’s in New York on September 7. Diana first wore the woollen jumper – with its black and white sheep motif – to a polo match of her fiance, the then-prince of Wales, in June 1981. It was one of the first pieces designed by Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne for their knitwear label Warm & Wonderful, and helped to catapult their brand into the public eye. They said: “Much to our amazement, the first we knew of Lady Diana Spencer wearing the sweater was when we saw her on the front page of one of the Sunday newspapers. “Her influence was impactful almost immediately thereafter, leading to a surge in sales and public awareness of our small label, for which we will be forever grateful.” A few weeks after its first appearance, the pair received an official letter from Buckingham Palace requesting either a repair or a replacement for the sweater as it had been damaged. They knitted a new sweater for the late princess, but the whereabouts of the original remained unknown until they rediscovered it in March this year in their attic, tucked away in a small box beside a cotton bedspread. Warm & Wonderful stopped producing the black sheep style in 1994, but it was reissued in 2020 as a collaboration with the brand Rowing Blazer. The actress Emma Corrin wore a replica of the sweater when she played Diana in the fourth season of Netflix’s The Crown in 2020. Meanwhile, a sweater of the same design is part of the permanent collection of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. Sotheby’s is offering the original sweater as part of its inaugural Fashion Icons sale which will run during New York Fashion week from August 31 to September 13. The auction house holds the record for the most valuable Diana dress ever sold – an aubergine ball dress which was bought for 604,800 dollars (around £474,870) in January 2023. It also sold Diana’s Attallah Cross to Kim Kardashian in the Royal and Noble auction in London in January for £163,800. Speaking about the jumper, Sotheby’s global head of fashion and accessories Cynthia Houlton said: “This exceptional garment, meticulously preserved, carries the whispers of Princess Diana’s grace, charm, and her keen eye for fashion.” Read More Gongs, chanting and Celtic Shamanism: What I learnt from a day at the Glastonbury Healing Field A woman stopped cleaning after her husband accused her of doing ‘nothing’.

Mark Zuckerberg trainer warns Elon Musk that fight 'could go badly' for him
We recently looked ahead to the fight being touted between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and predicted a comfortable win for the Meta CEO – and it turns out Musk thinks that could very well be the case. The billionaires have verbally agreed to a fight after Musk said that he was “up for a cage match” after rumours emerged that the Meta boss was working on a Twitter rival. Zuckerberg responded with a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption “send me location”, and his trainer has now spoken about his chances. It looks like the fight could well happen, and Musk might be wise to take a word of warning. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter MMA fighter Khai "The Shadow" Wu has been training with Zuckerberg since last year, and speaking to Forbes about the potential bout, he emphasised how dedicated the Meta CEO is to martial arts. "I just go and train. I can only speak on how hard he works." He added: “He works really hard. He's a really nice guy to be honest with you. I'm not sure how the fight will play out, so I don't want to speculate, but I'm like you, I'm like 'how crazy is this?'" Wu went on to say Zuckerberg "shows up, trains hard, puts in the effort” and also described him as a "student of the game". As Insider reports, Musk spoke to Bloomberg reporter Ashley Vance on a Twitter Space session, and admitted: “Well I haven’t started training yet. If it does happen I will train.” Vance said that the fight “could go badly” as Zuckerberg “takes this stuff pretty seriously”. Musk admitted “yeah that’s possible,” before saying that he thinks the fight still “might actually happen”. Have your say in our news democracy.
