A porcelain doll modeled after an iconic look of Boy George in 1984 from the collection of Boy George. Boy George wore the actual headdress while performing at Wembley Arena on December 17, 1984, and both the cape and headdress for an appearance on The David Letterman Show, November 14, 1984. 

The doll replicates a custom-made headdress by Stephen Jones and a silver-and-red cape worn over a two-piece ensemble. The look is paired with a collared piece featuring black fringe and sequins, along with matching boots.

Stephen Jones told Vogue in 2007 when he lived with Boy George in squat on Warren Street from 1979 to 1981, which he credits to his Bohemian lifestyle of the time. Jones and Boy George were often seen frequenting the famous 80s London Club Blitz, which Jones told Vogue reminiscing. “I’d find people at The Blitz who were possible only in my imagination. But they were real.” 

Height: 21 inches.
