ICONIC DESIGNER JACKET WORN BY JAGGER INCLUDING ON TOP OF THE POPS

The Rolling Stones Mick Jagger Owned and Worn Jacket (ca. 1967). Vintage original designer jacket by "Hung On You" with recurring dragons, pagodas, and other oriental motifs to the exterior. Constructed from satin with buttons to the front, and maker's label to the interior lining reading "Hung On You a Londres". Identifiable by the placement distinctive motif pattern, Jagger can be seen wearing the jacket in 1967, including in official band photo session images, at a club with Marianne Faithfull, and published on the front cover of an August 1967 issue of Japanese Music Life magazine. The jacket also features on a 1967 appearance by the Rolling Stones on the flagship UK show Top of the Pops, where Mick and the band performed "Let's Spend the Night Together", footage of which can be found online. When first auctioned in London in 2005, inside a pocket of this jacket was an aide-memoire handwritten by Jagger on a Warsaw hotel envelope (which was offered as a separate lot), suggesting this jacket was also brought by Mick on the Stones' Spring 1967 tour of Europe. The Stones performed in Warsaw on April 13, 1967, while Poland was under Communist control - the only rock band to play in the city during this period. The shows were marred by rioting in the streets in protest of unfair ticket allocation to Communist party officials. "Hung On You" boutique was founded by designer Michael Rainey, and was located on Cale Street and later King's Road in London. The store's vibrant and colorful designs were worn by members of the Stones, the Beatles, and the Kinks over the course of the 1960s. Provenance: Bonhams London, April 27, 2005, Lot 347.
