It was previously featured in the Selena clothing exhibit, “Ahora y Nunca”, which was showcased in a 2017 “Vogue” magazine article about Selena Quintanilla as a fashion entrepreneur who bridged Hispanic and American cultures.
The vest is in near-perfect condition and has the Selena label and original price tag intact. It is a rare piece, as few Selena clothing items are available for purchase in the market.
This red and black women’s suit from the collection includes a skirt and a zippered jacket in size 9/10, made of 65% rayon and 35% polyester. The jacket bears the Selena label and the original price tag. It is rare since only a few Selena clothing pieces are available in the market.
This black and white checkered knit suit from her line, dates back to the mid-1990s. The suit consists of a mini-skirt and a zippered jacket, both in size 11 and made of 50% rayon and 50% polyester.
Selena Quintanilla’s legacy continues to thrive through her music and fashion, as a matter of fact, Forever 21 recently dropped its second collection inspired by the legendary Mexican singer. For super fans who want to own a piece of history, this auction presents a unique opportunity to acquire rare items.
