Signed Leather Star Costume Piece Worn on the Rubber Band Landing Tour
An original stage-worn costume piece from the personal wardrobe of Bootsy Collins, featuring black leather construction, metallic stud detailing and Bootsy’s signature glitter star motif.
Personally signed by Bootsy Collins, this distinctive accessory was worn on stage throughout the 1970s and formed part of the visual universe that helped define one of funk music’s most recognisable performers. According to Bootsy, the piece was worn during the legendary Rubber Band Landing era, a formative period that saw him establish the flamboyant aesthetic and cosmic stage presence that became synonymous with Bootsy’s Rubber Band.
Combining stage use, personal provenance and Bootsy’s unmistakable visual style, the piece offers a direct connection to one of funk’s most celebrated live performers.
