London, May 13, 2024 – In an event sure to pique the interest of both music aficionados and philanthropists, a pair of boots custom-made for Paul McCartney’s memorable performance at the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony is set to be auctioned at Sotheby’s. This exclusive sale, running from May 24th to 31st, is part of Sotheby’s Sealed during the Modern British take-over and serves a charitable cause close to McCartney’s heart — the Meat Free Monday campaign’s 15th anniversary.
Crafted from alternative suede by Steven Lowe for Eastbourne-based Crispinians, these boots pay homage to the iconic Beatle boots that became a global phenomenon in the 1960s, thanks to Paul McCartney and The Beatles. While maintaining the style of the original boots created by Anello and Davide, these eco-friendly versions signify McCartney’s commitment to animal-free products, a testament to his evolving fashion sense intertwined with ethical considerations.

When John Hurt died we lost a true legend of film, and an actor loved by both young and old. Some knew him for his role as Kane in Alien, John Merrick in The Elephant Man, and even Doctor Who. Perhaps his most daring role though was as Quentin Crisp, The Naked Civil Servant.
The Naked Civil Servant is the story of Quentin Crisp, a shamelessly (and famously) homosexual man who was never afraid to be himself, even at a time when it was illegal. Looking at his coming of age and growth into old age the film celebrates the life of a truly inspirational individual.
Quentin Crisp is anything but shy, you get to see this in The Naked Civil Servant...
