Madonna’s clothing material to go on show
Clothes that have adorned the ‘Material Girl’ Madonna throughout her 25 year career are to be put on show at a London exhibition next spring. Highlights of the 300-item show will include her iconic pink Material Girl dress, which she wore in the video to her 1985 hit, and the gown she wore playing Argentinian heroine Evita in the 1996 movie.
The raunchy black satin tasselled bustier that she wore in the video to ‘Open Your Heart‘ will also go on show at the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, east London, as will the wedding gown she wore for her ‘Like a Virgin’ tour and the baseball outfit she wore in the 1992 film League of their Own.
A spokesman for the gallery described it as “a treasure trove of over 300 personal items brought together for the first time.”
Exhibition Curator Ted Owen 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 and Madonna fans should be very excited indeed.”
Madonna, who has just turned 50, kicked off a 27-date world tour with a performance at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium last Saturday.
Her Sweet and Sticky tour takes in 16 European venues, including London’s Wembley Stadium, before travelling to North and South America.
