JOHNNY ROTTEN SIGNED MICROPHONE (SEX PISTOLS)

JOHNNY ROTTEN AUTOGRAPHED MICROPHONE

SEX PISTOLS: Sex Pistols and Public Image, Ltd. A primary culprit behind the style and attitude that is associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, John Lydon — known in his early career as “Johnny Rotten” (a nickname inspired by the dismal condition of his teeth at the time) — is certainly one of the most recognizable performers of the punk era, despite his relatively short-lived involvement in the genre. Perhaps even more significant is his role in establishing the direction of post-punk, “alternative” music in the 1980s, which combined avant-garde and world music into the raw approach developed during the previous decade. He has certainly come to define one of the oddest contradictions created by the post-1950s music industry: the rebellious, anti-establishment outsider turned established, internationally-known celebrity.

Elvis Sy Devore Suede Jacket

Elvis Presley personal suede collarless jacket with Sy Devore Label.  Hand crafted for Elvis Presley.  Identical jacket to the one Elvis wore in the dance sequence with Ann Margaret “C’mon Everybody” in “Viva Las Vegas”.  The original owner was employed by a company in New York that was responsible for the cutting of the fabric swatches for the August 1971 release of “Elvis: The Other Sides-Worldwide Gold Award Hits, Volume 2” a 4-LP set from RCA Victor.  The tag on the shirt was used for tracking and has a black RCA block logo on the other side.

 

Taken from the Sy Devore Site-
Known as the “tailor to the stars” until his death in 1966, Sy Devore was almost as famous in Hollywood as the men he dressed.

But he made his biggest fashion impact with the martini-gulping, wisecracking, Hollywood-Palm Springs-Las Vegas-hopping Rat Pack. They came to Devore’s on Vine Street near Sunset Boulevard, just around the corner from the Brown Derby restaurant, to shop as well as hang out.

Eventually his star clientele included Bing Crosby, Spencer Tracy, John Wayne, Desi Arnaz, Danny Thomas, Rock Hudson, Richard Burton, Nat King Cole, David Janssen, Sidney Poitier, Eddie Fisher and Robert Conrad. Even Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson bought his clothes.

“In a very good year, I have my choice between a Rolls-Royce,
a new house in Beverly Hills or a suit from Sy Devore.”
— Bob Hope
