BOSTON (AP) — Fans of Prince, who was known nearly as
much for his extravagant wardrobe as for his chart-topping
hits, will have a chance to bid on some of the late musician’s
sartorial splendor in an online auction this week.

The collection, including more than 200 lots up for sale, was
assembled by a French collector who initially hoped to open
a museum celebrating the musician but later scrapped the
plan, according to RR Auction of Boston, which is overseeing
the sale.

The collector had reached out to individuals who worked closely
with Prince to gather the items, believing that the trendsetting
artist, who died in 2016, was not only a musical virtuoso but also
a fashion icon, according to the auction house.

Prince (Rogers Nelson) (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)
