An exhibition of the dresses at 6 Avenue Hoche opens on July 3, and straddles Haute Couture Week in Paris, scheduled for July 7 to 10.
Bonhams is keeping the identity of the seller under wraps, but confirmed it's a single-owner collection.
Estimates for the dresses start at 700 euros and run up to about 1,500 euros.
Lagerfeld logged two celebrated stints at Chloé. He started working for the house in 1963 and initially worked alongside other designers brought on by founder Gaby Aghion, such as Graziella Fontana, Tan Giudicelli and Michèle Rosier.
Lagerfeld took full creative control of Chloé in 1966 and worked there until 1983.
He rejoined Chloé for a second time in 1992, creating memorable ad campaigns with model Linda Evangelista, before leaving for good in 1997.
'This auction is an homage to Karl Lagerfeld with an exemplary collection of designs from his early years at Chloé presented alongside groundbreaking looks from his final spring 1984 Chloé collection,' commented Hubert Felbacq, director of the fashion and accessories department at Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr.
Among lots from that spring 1984 collection is an ivory silk evening dress embroidered with gold sequins and draped for an antique effect. It's offered with an estimate of 1,200 to 1,500 euros.
Felbacq noted that under the German designer, 'Chloé entered a golden era, pushing the boundaries of prêt-à-porter with bold, narrative-driven collections. From ethereal gowns and romantic silhouettes to bold, surrealist prints, these garments exemplify Lagerfeld's unparalleled ability to blend elegance with innovation.'
The Bonhams sale also spans 70 other lots of haute couture from Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche, Louis Feraud, Hervé Léger, Emanuel Ungaro and Pierre Balmain.

Vandals set fire to a mouse statue that's a TV star and mascot for a German broadcaster
BERLIN (AP) — Vandals set fire to a mouse statue that's a TV star and mascot for children's programming at German broadcaster WDR, the television station said Saturday. The cartoon mouse, known only as 'Die Maus,' is the eponymous star of 'Die Sendung mit der Maus' (The Show with the Mouse) since it first aired in West Germany in 1971. Each short episode features other languages and educational segments. The statue — featuring the character's famous orange body with brown ears, arms and legs — greets families and children outside a media building in Cologne, Germany. A receptionist for WDR saw several young people standing around the statue in Cologne on a camera feed overnight Friday into Saturday. She then noticed flames and called the fire department, WDR said. The fire blackened parts of the mouse's face and arm, images show. The station said a police complaint had been filed against an unidentified person. Matthias Körnich, head of children's programming for WDR, said it's not just a figurine that was damaged. 'A piece of childhood, a symbol of joy and togetherness has been attacked,' he said. 'The mouse belongs to Cologne.'

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Pull Catalog From Spotify Over Daniel Ek's Investment in Defense Tech Company
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are yanking their catalog from Spotify, the Australian rock band confirmed on Friday, citing founder Daniel Ek's investment in a military defense company. 'Hello friends, A PSA to those unaware: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invests millions in AI military drone technology,' the band wrote in an Instagram Story on Friday. 'We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Jonas Brothers Recall Feeling "Pressure" to Answer Uncomfortable Questions About "Sex Life" as Teens Atlantic Music Group Is Launching a Country Imprint Dick Clark Productions Appoints Mike Chuthakieo As Chief Commercial Officer King Gizzard is most likely referring to Helsing, a German defense technology company that Ek's investment firm Prima Materia led a $700 million investment round on last month. Ek is also chairman of Helsing. King Gizzard is pulling an extensive catalog of nearly 30 albums; as of this story's publication, King Gizzard had about 1.5 million monthly Spotify listeners. At press time, just 2022 EP Satanic Slumber Party is left on the platform. A representative for Spotify didn't immediately respond to request for comment. King Gizzard is the latest and highest-profile artist to pull their catalog from Spotify over the past month since news of Prima Materia's investment surfaced. Deerhoof announced their intent to pull their music at the end of June, stating that, 'We don't want our music killing people. We don't want our success being tied to AI battle tech.' Experimental rock band Xiu Xiu similarly said they were pulling their music yesterday, calling Spotify a 'garbage hole violent Armageddon portal.' This of course isn't Spotify's first time facing artists pulling their music over controversies. Both Neil Young and Joni Mitchell pulled their catalogs over misinformation about the Covid vaccine aired on Joe Rogan's podcast. Both artists' music came back on the platform last year.

Hearts Break As Dog Starts 'Crying' on Way Back To Shelter After Day Out
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who took a shelter dog out for a night, as part of a program to give these animals a break from the chaotic environment, was heartbroken when she looked at the canine's reaction to returning. Many animal shelters allow volunteers to take dogs out on field trips, such as a walk around the park, hanging out at a local cafe or even enjoying a sleepover in the person's home. Dogs who go on field trips are five times more likely to get adopted, an article from Adopt a Pet reported. These field trip programs not only give these canines a break from the shelter environment, but they also give them greater exposure to potential adopters. Volunteers report back on the dog's behavior and snap extra pictures to make their profile stand out. Plus, it gives people a doggy fix if they do not have the time or means to adopt one of their own. Janna, who is known as @jannahynds14 on TikTok, volunteered with the Arizona Humane Society Papago Park Campus and recently brought out a canine named Coco for a doggy sleepover. This 11-year-old German shepherd and Shar-pei mix has been in and out of the shelter since 2023, according to a Facebook post from the Arizona Humane Society. She took her for a fun-filled day, featuring pup cups, running around outside and catching up on some much-needed sleep. Coco finally could relax. But the field trip only lasted one night.

It looked to her that Coco was crying, which, in return, shattered Janna's heart. Newsweek reached out to @jannahynds14 via TikTok for additional comment. Janna posted a video of Coco appearing to cry in a July 12 TikTok video, which amassed over 78,100 views and 14,000 likes, pleading for someone to adopt Coco. "He looks like he's been through a lot. Boosting for this little guy," wrote a viewer. Another added: "You deserve a loving home, sweet baby." A third user said: "Thank you for doing a day date!! They go back to the shelter decompressed and happy. Hopefully, someone will come meet her and give her a forever home. You did a great thing!" While some thought Coco looked "defeated," Janna responded and believes she was just tired from their adventure-filled day.
