In a room in his London house, 52-year-old spray tan artist James Harknett has carefully arranged more than 12,500 items connected, in one way or another, to Madonna.
Along with CDs, vinyl records, store displays and magazines such as Smash Hits and Record Mirror, his collection includes an oversize rhinestone bracelet that the American pop megastar flaunted in her music video for Material Girl in 1985. There are also not one but three of the costumes she wore in the Oscar-winning film Evita from 1996 and more than 200 pieces of framed imagery.
