Scope and Contents

A socialite, philanthropist and style icon, Lynn Wyatt encapsulates the expression, "Everything is bigger in Texas." For decades she has amassed an impressive collection of haute couture gowns, rare photographs, and unique friends like Elton John and Tilda Swinton.

In an online auction hosted by Paddle8, all the proceeds from these collectibles will be donated to the [link href="http://www.rothkochapel.org/" link_updater_label="external" target="_blank"]Rothko Chapel, an institution dear to Wyatt that inspires people to action through art and contemplation. If you want to get your hands on a priceless Warhol print or classic Chanel suit, the auction ends February 29, so start raising those paddles—or, in this case, clicking that mouse. Below, a few of TandC's favorite lots.
