Cyndi Lauper's Stage Wardrobe Is Changing Hands

Cyndi Lauper is parting with a selection of garments from her own closet, the singer confirmed in an interview with Artnet News. The pieces come from the loud, layered dressing that defined her public image, and she spoke of choosing color for its sheer force on the eye. She framed the clothes as souvenirs of a freer, more daring era rather than as simple castoffs. For collectors of performance costume, the chance to own the real thing from one of pop's most recognizable dressers does not come around often.
