MICHAEL JACKSON – THE JACKSON 5, Marc Laurent Paris – Official replica

A red leather jacket designed by Marc Laurent Paris, modelled on the one worn by Michael Jackson in the ‘Beat It’ music video (1983), recognisable by its multiple zips and silver metallic mesh panels on the shoulders. Marc Laurent, the designer of the original jacket, took part in 2011 in the launch of a commemorative collection developed with the Jackson brothers, under a licence granted by the Michael Jackson Estate. Produced in a run of 500 numbered pieces for each of the two iconic models, ‘Beat It’ and ‘Thriller’, this edition replicates the features of the original costumes. The item on display, numbered 316/500, bears the handwritten signatures of Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Jermaine Jackson on an inner patch, accompanied by a printed reproduction of Michael Jackson’s signature. It comes with its Global Authentics certificate, dated 6 November 2011, detailing the circumstances of the signing, as well as its J5 Couture protective cover.

Estimate:£500.59
