DAVID BOWIE, A Brooks Brothers tie worn during the Serious Moonlight

A silk tie with diagonal yellow and navy blue stripes, from the American brand Brooks Brothers, presented as having belonged to David Bowie during his 1983 Serious Moonlight tour. According to the account of its owner, who was 25 years old at the time and responsible for security for the artist’s tour bus, this tie was worn by Bowie before being personally handed to him during his concerts at the Fréjus Arena on 26 and 27 May 1983. A photograph of David Bowie on stage in Brussels on 19 May 1983, taken by Ilpo Musto, shows him wearing this tie with yellow and dark stripes. The tie still bears its woven label: ‘BROOKS BROTHERS MAKERS – ALL SILK – ESTABLISHED 1818’. It is accompanied by personal photographs from the period showing David Bowie alongside the owner, as well as a press clipping covering his concerts in Fréjus in May 1983.

Estimate:£1,668.66
