The market for
celebrity clothes is booming lately. We've seen dresses sell for
hundreds of thousands of dollars but the market on men's clothes tends to be a bit lower. Can a simple black turtleneck sell for nearly $15,000? Perhaps when it belongs to artist
Andy Warhol.
Paul Fraser Collectibles is selling Warhol's turtleneck cashmere sweater. Many Warhol photos show him in a black turtleneck. I learned earlier this year at the
diamonds conference that Warhol, a
jewelry collector even liked to wear his glittering jewelry under his basic black sweater. The Halston sweater is for sale for £9,950 ($14,925). Given the stratospheric prices realized for Warhol
art, I expect this one to go fast.

Maybe Steve Jobs will buy it.
