Madonna's outfits to go on display

Posted by Sylar On Tuesday, August 26, 2008
A collection of Madonna's outfits are going on display in a new exhibition.
The show will open next year and will feature 300 items spanning the Queen of Pop's career.

Highlights include the black and gold tassel bustier from the 1986 video for Open Your Heart and the pink dress from Material Girl.
The show will feature more than 30 dresses worn by Madonna in her star role in the movie Evita and the Like A Virgin tour wedding gown. As well as concert outfits and other clothing, photographs and film props will also go on public view.

The items are in a private collection belonging to Marquee Capital, a celebrity memorabilia investment company, which is expected to auction the pieces following the show.

Unfortunately for the singer's fans, the Jean Paul Gaultier cone-breasted bustier worn on Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour 18 years ago is not part of the collection.

Ted Owen, curator of the exhibition at the Old Truman Brewery in East London, said: "This is an unprecedented collection of Madonna memorabilia that represents every stage of her glittering career. These are museum-quality pieces but they will be presented in keeping with the glamour and sense of theatre that the Queen of Pop has made her trademark."

The exhibition, Simply Madonna, Materials of the Girl, opens in February.
