There’s no doubt that Prince had a huge impact on fashion. He was
meticulous about his image, but whenever he was snapped throughout his
almost forty year-long career, he was wearing something incredibly
stylish and unique. Has any artist ever owned an entire color the way he
has? Or made custom-designs as cool?Well, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning something from Prince’s extensive and magical wardrobe, then here’s your chance. Select items that he’s worn and owned will go up for auction next month through Profiles in History. The motorcycle jacket he sported in Purple Rain, a pair of over-the-knee boots from his Love Sexy Tour, a white ruffled shirt from his Purple Rain tour, the pearl necklace from his Diamonds and Pearls video, and his Graffiti and Bridge cufflinks are all up for grabs. This is iconic stuff people!
The boots’ starting bid will begin at no less than $10K, but can undoubtedly go for much more than that. Consignment curator Raymond Janis spoke to Accessories Magazine about the specialness of the event: “It’s very rare to have Prince items come to auction. He was always very private and guarded of his image, and these are items that are coming to the forefront from charities or through people who were close to him. It’s very exciting.”
If you’ve never heard of Profiles in History before, they’re the leading dealer in authentic documents, historical autographs, letters, manuscripts, and vintage signed photographs. The company’s auctions have reached record-setting prices and they are also the largest auctioneer of original Hollywood memorabilia on the globe. The auction for Prince’s items will take place on July 1st.
Looking to place a bid? There are four ways: live at the auction house in Calabasas, California (we wonder if the Kardashians will make a bid), by phone, absentee bidding, and online through Invaluable.com which will also broadcast live video feed during the event.
Thoughts on the news? If you could own one item from Prince’s closet, what would it be?
