Speaking about the exhibition, William Doyle, CEO of Newbridge Silverware, said: “Boy George is synonymous with style and colour. His bold garments and stage-worn outfits captured the vibrant spirit of the 1980s. A true chameleon of style and fashion, his ever-changing and daring looks, complemented by his bold and distinctive Philip Treacy hats are both memorable and show stopping. We are delighted to showcase some of Boy George’s eclectic collection and to offer the public the chance to see inside the wardrobe of one of pop’s most distinctive stars.”

Martin Nolan Co-Founder and executive director of Julien’s Auctions, added: “Boy George stands as a genuine cultural trailblazer, with an influence that reaches across music, fashion, and art. This collection reflects the bold spirit and individuality that defined a generation and still resonates today. I’m especially proud to unveil this collection in Ireland—where his roots and lasting popularity give the exhibition added significance—before it continues on to auction at The Peninsula in Beverly Hills.”

Admission to the exhibition is free of charge.
