ADDENDUM is added to this lot - Black Levi’s 501 jeans customised by Dennis Tompkins & Michael Bush
Levi’s 501 jeans in black denim (label size W28 L32), customised with gold braiding running along the outer seam of each leg. Inside, a ‘Dennis Tompkins & Michael Bush’ label links the piece to Michael Jackson’s famous costume design duo. This style of black 501 jeans, tailored and modified by Tompkins & Bush, is characteristic of the casual looks created for the artist from the late 1980s onwards. This piece is similar to the one worn in the “You Are Not Alone” video in 1995.
ADDENDUM: Bidders are advised to take note of this information before placing their bid.
This lot is the subject of a dispute raised by one of the designers, Mr Michael Bush. However, no expert report or technical details specific to this lot have been provided by him to date. Furthermore, the previous owner of the lots, Mr Richard Fossaas, has informed us in writing of a long-standing personal dispute between himself and Mr Bush, predating this sale and unrelated to this lot, as well as of Mr Bush’s systematic opposition to items from his collection bearing the label ‘Dennis Thompkins & Michael Bush’.
