Elton John teamed up with French crystal makers Lalique to design a collection of divine sculptures titled 'Music is Love.' The collection includes seven unique sculptures that will be sold in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
The sculptures were inspired by the musician and his classic wardrobe. While his closest is filled with black and white clothing, he also adds splashes of color as well. The sculptures mimic these colors in simple, elegant ways.
There are three limited-edition sculptures including a red crystal heart, a clear crystal heart and a crystal angel. The Elton John Music is Love collection hopes to raise awareness and monetary support in the fight against AIDS. Al of the pieces in this collection are signed by Sir Elton John himself and “will be auctioned during the 2016 Academy Awards in partnership with Paddle8.”
