The trio of coats worn by the mop-tops on the cover of their 1967 classic, "Sgt. Pepper's

of Art in New York City. "Rock Style" will be on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in

Roll Hall of Fame. The missing Beatles jacket is George Harrison's vermilion number which
was not available for undisclosed reasons. Still, the exhibit is being billed as the first time that
any of the "Sgt. Pepper's" jackets have been on public display together.
Also part of the exhibit, which is divided into five separate thematic areas, are a shredded
Union Jack coat worn by David Bowie, Madonna's famed cone-shaped bustier, black Fiorucci
jeans from Bruce Springsteen's "The River" tour, KISS' 1976 "Destroyer" tour outfits, a 1967
