On His Royal Badness: The Life and Legacy of Prince's Fashion

A garment-by-garment exploration of Prince's singular style and continued influence on contemporary fashion.

Not only was Prince a musical genius and one of the greatest artists of all time, he was a fashion icon, a trailblazer devoted to the art of dressing. Lifelong fan and fashion historian Casci Ritchie assembles a greatest-hits compilation of the best pieces in Prince's wardrobe--from ornate ear cuff down to bespoke heel--telling each garment's incredible origin story and showing how his tastes disrupted hegemonic, heteronormative, and Black masculinities.

On His Royal Badness considers Prince as a visionary artist and fearless provocateur who revered fashion and self-expression, and whose sartorial brilliance continues to shape contemporary culture.

Unaffiliated with the Prince Estate.
