PROVENANCE: This jacket originally sold in the Julien's Auctions Beverly Hills sale titled "Property from the Life and Career of Olivia Newton-John," Sale #3236, November 2, 2019, Lot 443. Ms. Newton-John had saved this jacket for over 40 years, so it was a bittersweet moment for her when it sold at her charity auction for an astonishing $243,200 -- but what she didn't know at the time was that the buyer was going to give the jacket back to her. He and the team at Julien's met the star at her home in Santa Ynez, California where it was returned to her in a moving tribute. The jacket is now back at Julien's due to the sad passing of ONJ from breast cancer, which she bravely fought for many decades.
A blush-colored satin jacket adorned with Japanese imagery; reversible; created by noted Australian designer Camilla Franks; worn by the star in a photo session with her longtime photographer, Michelle Day; included with a color photograph by Day showing ONJ in the jacket.
20th Century Fox, 1983. An army green casual jacket worn by the star as "Debbie Wylder" in the fantasy film that co-starred John Travolta; together with a press kit from the film signed by Newton-John on the cover in silver felt-tip ink as well as a small color photograph showing her wearing the jacket.
A garment made of brown suede; a traditional design with two front pockets, four button front closure, by Ralph Lauren, size 8.
A black jacket by Australian designer Camilla adorned with metallic sequins and beads simulating a traditional band uniform design; worn by the star at an event celebrating Channel 9 Australia's 25th Anniversary where she was photographed with fellow-Australian Keith Urban; included is a color photograph of the star with Urban.
