Music legend Elton John’s flamboyant wardrobe is currently on sale at the Flower Cellars in London’s Covent Garden, for their fifth Out The Closet pop-up shop so now you can have your chance to own a piece of his eccentric sense of style, all in the name of charity. The sale will see the largest collection of clothing and accessories belonging to the singing star and his partner David Furnish.
The prices range from £10 to £2,000 and include pieces by Versace, Christian Dior, Prada, Alexander McQueen, D&G and Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as sunglasses, luggage and belts. Shoppers will also be able to buy some of the costumes that he has used over the course of his musical career, like pairs of the singer’s sky-high platform shoes and the over-sized spectacles.
The last time Elton John and his partner held such a sale was back in 2002 in London and on that occasion they raised £400,000 after selling 15,000 items.
Elton John said, “We always get a fantastic response from the public with these sales, I think the idea that the items we all buy and enjoy can help someone in dire need, particularly at this time of year, really strikes a chord.”
David Furnish added, “The new stock in Out The Closet represents the largest clearout that we have ever had, and it’s exciting to think that our clothes will draw a whole new demographic into our shop. For the first time we have sunglasses in-store and other accessories that will make great Christmas gifts.”
The proceeds of the sale will go to his AID’s Charity, the Elton John Aids Foundation.
The sale which is currently running and restocked everyday will end on the 19th December with a clearance sale.
