On November 20-21, 2025, the "Played, Worn, & Torn" auction is offering ownership of powerful pop culture moments through the very pieces of wardrobe and clothing worn by the stars that brought them to life.

From the smoky clubs of 1960s London to the massive stages of the Renaissance tour, each piece in this unparalleled collection carries the sonic echo and lived experience of the artist who wore it. This is your chance to step past the velvet rope and acquire the very threads woven into music history.

The Seismic Shifts: How Icons Dressed the Decades

Trace the trajectory of rock's greatest innovators through their personal style, starting with the counterculture. The 1973 black knit top worn by David Bowie tells a story that transcends the stage; photographed by Roger Bamber during the Ziggy Stardust Tour, this is a moment of pure, unguarded theatricality, a piece so personal it was gifted to the consignor as a child whose mother had a band with Angie Bowie herself.

Equally embedded in the British rock narrative is The Rolling Stones' 1973 "Goat Heads Soup" Ritva Man Sweater. More than just tour merch, this exclusive acrylic knit, featuring the embroidered goat head, was a gift from the band to their road crew. It speaks directly to the deep connections the Stones maintained with London’s avant-garde fashion scene through the celebrated “The Ritva Man” label.

Then there is the sheer exuberance of the 1970s. Billy Preston's stage-worn leather jacket—a masterpiece of white leather and black accents, studded in a bold cross pattern—was gifted to a consignor who worked for the singer in 1976. Paired with the accompanying tour program showing him wearing it, this piece is a testament to the flamboyant rock-funk fusion that defined his era.

The Identity: When a Hat Defines the Star

For some artists, an accessory became their second skin—an instant, globally recognized silhouette.

Consider the custom-made cream felt fedora of Michael Jackson, crafted by designer Michael Bush for the iconic "Smooth Criminal" sequence of the HIStory World Tour. This hat is not merely an item of clothing; it’s a portal back to that moonwalking, theatrical perfection that only The King of Pop could command.

Similarly, the hats generously donated by rock legends for the benefit of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital tell their own visceral stories: Slash’s black wool top hat, personalized with his skull and crossbones illustration, and Alice Cooper’s felt top hat, featuring a dramatic three-dimensional skull face. These items are the physical embodiment of Rock & Roll imagery.

And from an earlier age, we have Bob Dylan’s oversized Western Hat. This dark brown suede piece, with its tall, exaggerated crown, was pulled directly from his wardrobe road case during the Bob Dylan and The Band tour and given as a personal memento by his tour manager—a true piece of backstage history.

The Architects of Pop: Defining Moments on Film

Modern pop stars use wardrobe to define an era, and this collection features garments worn at the exact moment a look became legendary.

The burgundy silk robe worn by Madonna in the 1984 "Material Girl" music video needs no introduction. This simple piece, from The May Company, was immortalized in a music video that solidified her transition from club kid to pop culture royalty.

The dramatic, spike-laden Bryce Aime dress worn by Rihanna in the 2009 "Hard" music video represents her embrace of a tougher, high-fashion aesthetic, documented by the original designer invoice and Certificate of Authenticity.

For the Queen Bey's fans, the rhinestone-embellished, asymmetrical sunglasses worn by Beyoncé in the "I'M THAT GIRL" teaser offer a tangible link to the futuristic, disco-infused fashion of her Renaissance album rollout.

And tracing the trajectory to the newest generation, the cream knit Courreges cardigan was worn by Sabrina Carpenter while driving with Dolly Parton in the "Please, Please, Please" music video, instantly marking it as a piece of 2025 pop culture crossover history.

The Personal & The Profound: The Enduring Career

Finally, there are the pieces that speak to the career's long arc, demonstrating dedication and personal connection.

The extensive collection from Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & the Raiders serves as a wearable retrospective. From the 1967 Hippie Shirt—a custom creation by a fan complete with a Sgt. Pepper’s patch—to the Beged-Or leather jacket and bell bottoms worn on the Arizona and Other States of Mind album cover, these items are authenticated by Lindsay himself and trace his stylistic journey across decades. The later stage coats, often commissioned from Ursula’s Costumes in the colonial style he made famous, show his commitment to his signature look right up to the 2018 “Happy Together Tour.”

And finally, there is Tom Petty’s custom-tailored red shirt. This humble garment became an iconic uniform for the Heartbreakers' first peak period in the early 1980s. Worn in the landmark "You Got Lucky" MTV video, featured on magazine covers like Creem and Guitar World, and seen on the Long After Dark tour program, this shirt was considered so significant it was archived for over 30 years by the band’s Fan Club President. It is, quite simply, an instantly recognizable piece of American Rock history.

This auction is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the spotlight—to acquire the authentic fabrics from the defining moments in music history.
