From the Andre Van Pier Madonna bra collection, this magnificent bustier was custom made for Madonna to wear for her "Sex" book photo shoot. It was not used in the shoot but was made exclusively for Madonna and kept for museum display. A seashell and pearl bustier featuring rounded polished white iridescent sea shells with tiny amber beads on each. Patterned real seashells in the waist outlined in tiny brown pattern snail shells. Variety of seashells. Near perfect condition, needs minor stitch repair. Stunning! Comes with a letter of provenance from Professor Karen Santry of New York's Fashion Institute of Technology who worked closely with Andre Van Pier in the museum cultivation of the garments offered in this collection. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
