One of John’s personally-owned suits. Suit consists of an extra long, bright red Rayon and silk single-breasted jacket, featuring a single-button front and an “Alexander McQueen Italy,” maker’s label sewn in the lining, and a partially attached McQueen chain above the label; matching beltless slacks, and a black long-sleeve Gianni Versace dress shirt, accentuated with black vertical stripes. Shirt bears an “EJAF” tag. Outfit was acquired from Elton’s Closet, a pop-up shop for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, in Rockefeller Center in 2006. On the day that the store opened, this suit was displayed in the window with an additional rose-adorned mesh shoulder piece. In fine condition. A vibrant ensemble which perfectly captures John’s love of fashion, while also touching on one of his many humanitarian projects. RR Auction COA.
