Prince's stage-worn black-and-white striped bolero jacket designed by Stacia Lang, lead designer in Prince's wardrobe department, for the 1993 Act II Tour of Europe, made of a fine silk and featuring two black buttons on the front, three white buttons on each sleeve, and five alternating black and white buttons on the lower back. In fine condition. Lang’s original design sketch is shown, but not included in the sale; Prince can be seen wearing the jacket in the rare book Prince Presents The Sacrifice of Victor, a collection of photographs taken during the Act II Tour by Terry Gydesen.
Following the Act I Tour of the United States in the spring of 1993, Prince took Europe by storm in Act II, traveling far and wide throughout the continent from July through September. Focusing on his greatest hits during the whirlwind concert series, Prince played in a total of eleven different countries. As a flashy wardrobe piece designed for the successful tour, this is an exceedingly desirable item.
The bolero, when first released to the collecting market in the past, originated from the Prince collection of Therese Stoulil. The present letter of provenance was issued at that time. Therese Stoulil was hired by PRN Productions as Production Coordinator in 1986 and spent the next decade working for Prince.
