Thousands of dollars for Aretha Franklin dresses

An evening dress from the singer Aretha Franklin, who died in August, raised 10,000 dollars at an auction in New York, auction house Julien's Auctions reports.

Another striking Franklin outfit she wore during a concert in 1991 at Radio City Music Hall in New York went under the hammer for $ 7,500. The red dress was a design by the Canadian fashion designer Arnold Scaasi. Franklin, who died almost three months ago at the age of 76, was known for her fashionable dressings. Heroes were also auctioned.
