JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I remember seeing a picture of an unworn 1975 costume Page had. It was a white with the Free Mason All Seeing Eye on the back of it and white pants. Anyone else know of this? Quote
reswati Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Remember that it got posted here somewhere. It was an exhibition piece some years ago. Quote
beetleron Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 i thought it was a fake.........not sure though Quote
Strider Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 It's not a fake...he just never wore it on stage. He ended up donating it to the V & A museum...here's the link to the suit: http://m.vam.ac.uk/collections/item/O163738/theatre-costume/ Quote
Ledy Mazeppa Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) March, 2009 The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) has a display of rock costumes - a Mick Jagger one from 1972, and a Jimmy Page one from 1975. The costume description says: "ancient Hebrew and Egyptian symbols reflects his personal interest in esoteric religions and mysticism". The satin suit has long arms and it's tall for a child, though, so they are using a child mannequin to display it. It does not appear to be finished. The lotus design on the front is nice. The back appears to have a sketched out eye-in-a-pyramid ["All-seeing Eye"] and the basic beginnings of the "Stele of Revealing": at the bottom looks like part of unfinished Tetragrammaton - just the letter ת - Ḥet or H̱et (also spelled Khet, Het, or Heth) is the reconstructed name of the 8th letter of Semitic (incl. Hebrew) alphabeths. reconstruction: Edited January 30, 2012 by Ledy Mazeppa Quote
beetleron Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 i like the front........i dunno......maybe pagey just wasn't into the whole egyptian motif Quote
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Too bad this never got worn; it's pretty badass. I don't know if it has to do with that; he was into mysticism and magick. Quote
