What remains of the gone idols of the scene to inconsolable fans know those who keep the material pledges of their stay on Earth. With the voice captured in the shots, the inanimate objects of life and clothes that surrounded the stars during their lifetime seriously compete.
A star’s wardrobe is something like a bank account, only the proceeds from the sale of each item can become an incomparably more generous source of enrichment for its custodian, who knows about the thirst of a huge number of people on Earth to somehow join the glory of an idol. This is exactly the case with everything that surrounded Michael Jackson until the date of death, June 25, 2009, and even until September 3, 2009 - the date of the final burial.
Only his death and subsequent sales allowed him to pay the bills with numerous creditors of the pop star. Already the first year without Jackson brought about a billion US dollars, although Michael began to earn money from lenders by selling property at auctions in his lifetime.
In the summer of 2011, a red leather jacket familiar from the Thriller clip went under the hammer. This star wardrobe item started with 200 thousand US dollars and was purchased for 1.8 million US dollars. For the "less affluent, " the organizers of The Music Icons auction in Los Angeles offered a T-shirt that Jackson wore during the filming of the Scream clip. Sold his wigs, hats, gloves, portraits.
Immediately after the announcement of the death of the star, in the summer of 2009, a message appeared in the Russian press about a resident of Penza putting up Jackson jacket with stripes of the USSR Armed Forces at the domestic online auction with a copy of the imperial crown. It was alleged that the stage costume was genuine, during the Jackson Moscow tour, the initial price was set at 124 thousand euros. The required amount was not decided to lay out no one.
Ahead is another sale, now an extensive collection of stage costumes worn by the King of Pop. It will be held in Beverly Hills at the Trading House in December 2012. And now, an exhibition of future lots is traveling across countries and continents, warming up the appetites of promising buyers and attracting the curious - things are already taking part in a world tour without a host.
The upcoming collection was created over 25 years by Jackson's designers, Michael Bush and Danny Tompkins. Moreover, she has both stage and casual costumes. Representative of the auction house Julien's Auctions, arranging sales, says that part is not really the thing of the star, since many of the costumes, having autographed them, Jackson returned to the designers after the performances.
Costumes with gold embroidery, Swarovski crystals, silver threads, metallic leather, embroidered with sequins, with axelbands and gowns, the famous glove that sparkled on the pop king’s hand - all this, after being put on public display, will go to someone’s private collections. A silver-colored tight leotard in 1987, military-style jackets will gain new owners.
