Live bidding for the online sale will start at 10 a.m. PST, with items being held for preview at the expansive Robin's Jean warehouse in Los Angeles. Chretien is renowned not only for his innovative designs and biker-chic aesthetic, but as a foremost collector of neon signs and Indian Motorcycle memorabilia. Robin Chretien curated every item with exceptional creativity and passion to adorn his flagship stores around the world,? said Abell Auction Co. Vice President Todd Schireson. He held a deep desire to share the American story with the public, and purchased what he loved to showcase the country he fell in love with.? Chretien, a fashion icon, was born in Grenoble, France, immersed in a creative environment that shaped his destiny. However, his true love story with denim began at the age of 14 when he acquired and sported his first pair of jeans. His journey led him to Los Angeles in 1996, where he quickly conquered the denim industry as a designer for renowned brands such as Blue Cult and Hudson before leaving his own mark. "This auction is not just about the items, but about the story they tell of American heritage," said Chretien. An auction preview will be held the week prior to auction and by appointment at the Robin's Jean warehouse located at 6760 Foster Bridge Blvd. in Bell Gardens near Los Angeles.
