London, Dec 12 (IANS) Legendary British musician Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish have opened a temporary shop here that will sell items from their flamboyant collection for charity.
The shop in London's Covent Garden is being set up to sell clothes and accessories directly from their wardrobes, from Saturday for a week, reported mirror.co.uk.
"I think the idea that the items we all buy and enjoy can help someone in dire need, particularly at this time of year, really strikes a chord," said John.
The items will feature outfits worn by the musician on stage, Furnish's favourite shirts, sunglasses, luggage and belts.
It will be restocked daily until sold out and a clearance sale will take place on any unsold stock next Saturday.
All proceeds from sales at the event, called "Out The Closet", will go to support the work of the Elton John Aids Foundation.
