The infamous knit is being sold for the first time
. For Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s Global Head of Fashion & Accessories, the sweater embodies just why Diana and her differences still resonate with people today."She's a truly unique person who's remembered for who she was and the work she did—and not just how beautiful she was or what she wore," Houlton says."When we think of the black-sheep motif, at one point it might have been considered a negative thing to be different from the rest of the flock.
The sweater seemed to be important to Diana, whose assistant wrote to Warm & Wonderful founders Joanna Osborne and Sally Muir following the 1981 polo match to tell them that it was damaged and asking if it could be repaired or replaced as Diana"like[d] it very much." Osborne and Muir opted to replace the piece, putting the damaged one in storage, where it was forgotten until it was discovered last year in Osborne's attic, folded into an old quilt in a box of similar sweaters.
