Details

This vintage 80's La Rocka leather and denim rocker jacket comes directly from George Michael's stylist Alan Keys, with its original red lining, skull buttons, ball and chain zippers buckles and straps. The visible marks on the sleeves are an original feature of 1960s Levi's denim, and all badges are original, purchased from Kensington and Camden markets and antique stalls.

With its iconic "Rock'n'roll" studded pattern on the back with Capitol Records' Gene Vincent - Wild Cat vinyl print, this jacket is not only a rare stage-worn piece of memorabilia, but also a fashion staple which is one with George's 80s look. Wham! stylist and close friend Alan Keys shares the amazing story behind George Michael's La Rocka jacket exclusively on MAG_BTM. Head to the banner below and read the full story!
