Michael Jackson-Thorlos Padded Socks (Same Style He Wore) W/Letter of Provenance - These Thorlos padded socks are the same style that were often worn by Michael Jackson. The socks come with a letter from Thorlos addressed to The African American Museum and Cultural Center, stating in part, "Thorlo's socks were the choice of Michael Jackson, Bill Whitten and Stella Ruata of Artistic Hand Beading and Keith Holman because of their protection, comfort, durability...and they hold their shape with and without the heavy crystal beading applied to them by Stella Ruata of Artistic Hand Beading for Michael Jackson and Bill Whitten." The lot comes from the collection of Sir Keith Holman, an American designer who studied under and worked with the legendary Michael Jackson designers Bill Whitten, Warren R. Caton, and Stella Ruata.
