Landon Annoni collects looks worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, and shows them off on TikTok.
This 22-Year-Old Archivist’s Collection of Iconic Costumes Is a Must-See
Diehard fashion lovers often make the best collectors. Whether it’s a closet full of Balenciaga, archival Jean Paul Gaultier, or rare vintage items, serious fashion fans can take their personal tastes and turn it into a professional sport, tirelessly scouring the Internet or vintage stores to get their hands on pieces from their favorite labels. But on TikTok, Landon Annoni is taking the thrill of the hunt to an even more challenging level. He collects iconic, one-of-a-kind stage costumes worn by Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Prince, Stevie Nicks, and many other artists.
The 22-year-old college student, who is in his last semester at Penn State University studying business, uses TikTok to show his extensive archive of stage wear, including chiffon tops worn by Nicks in the 1970s, sunglasses worn by Prince in Purple Rain, and even the bracelet Lady Gaga wore with her infamous meat dress at the 2010 VMAs. (He only joined TikTok in December but already has over 14,000 followers.) “Music and fashion are my life,” Annoni says of his love for performance style. “I was always into older music when I was younger and my parents did not listen to it, so I do not know where my love for it came from. I was just drawn to it.”
