Perhaps one of the most endearing and romantic stories of the year is that of Margot Brockmann, whose husband Paul has bought his wife 55,000 dresses over the past 56 years. When the now 78-year-old husband took his wife to ballroom dancing, he surprised her with a new dress every time.

However, the enviable collection will be sold off this year in Los Angeles and on their website due to their rapidly deteriorating he alth and the excessively expensive storage costs. The German-born Brockmann talks about his life on his own page, in which he mentions that he is a lover of dancing and beautiful women's dance clothes at the age of 13, writes the dailymail.co.uk.

“Margot is the love of my life and remains so to this day. I followed him to the United States, which disowned me from my family. Margot changed my life. In the early days we lived in the Midwest and later settled in Los Angeles. As a general contractor, I de alt with real estate sales, the sale of stores and warehouses, and the trading of antiques. I always and everywhere concentrated on buying as many clothes as possible for Margot, the dance dress-obsessed husband tells his story.

Buying an incredible amount of clothes, Brockmann - who at times bought up to thirty clothes at once - claims that he likes the style of the fifties the most in dancewear fashion. "I loved watching Margot dance and started collecting clothes for her. I imagined her in the clothes, so the new outfit was followed by yet another piece after each performance. I am fascinated by fifties clothes. Wide skirts combined with petticoats are truly feminine. And that's what I really like," said Brockmann, who has two children, to L. To A. Weekly.

The husband also told the paper that among the 55,000 clothes, there are some that his wife never wore, but he became obsessed with buying clothes, so he ran around looking for clothes before work, sometimes during work and after work. The largest amount he ever spent on a dress was $300, HUF 67,600, which is a lot because Brockmann bought regardless of size, so it often happened that the dress didn't even fit his wife.

“I have some favorites that I don't want to sell. One of these is the dress I bought for my wife for the first time. At the beginning, I had no idea who designed the clothes, now I know that the collection collected since the forties also includes pieces by Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang, said Brockmann about the astonishing collection.
