World famous British musician Elton John and his partner David Furnish will sell over a thousand clothing and accessories items from their wardrobes to raise money for charity, the British media reported.
All the proceedings from the Out of the Closet 2009 sale which opens on Saturday in Covent Garden's Flower Cellars shop will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
The stock will feature clothes, sunglasses, luggage and belts from Versace, Dior, Prada, McQueen, D&G and Jean Paul Gaultier.
The shop will be restocked daily until sold out and a clearance sale will take place on any unsold stock on December 19.
"Out of the Closet has become an amazing fundraising opportunity for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. We always get a fantastic response from the public," the media quoted Elton John as saying on the eve of the event.
The Out of the Closet 2009 will be the fifth wardrobe clear out the Elton John AIDS Foundation has held. The last Out of the Closet, in 2002, sold about 15,000 items and raised 400,000 British pounds ($650,000) for the foundation.
