Own the pin, shirt, suit and tie seen on Sean Penn as real-life hero Harvey Milk in Focus Features’ Milk. The ensemble was specially created by Danny Glicker, who is nominated for an Academy Award for his Costume Design of the film. The pin, shirt, suit and tie were crafted by Mr. Glicker and his department to precisely match and re-create the ensemble worn by Mr. Milk on November 7th, 1978, the Election Night on which he celebrated the statewide defeat of Proposition 6, which sought to ban gays from teaching in California public schools and to remove known homosexuals and their supporters from their posts, and which Mr. Milk had fought so tirelessly against in the “No on 6” campaign. Milk is nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.  

At the 81st Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night February 22nd, MILK star Sean Penn won the Academy Award for Best Actor and MILK screenwriter Dustin Lance Black won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Proceeds from the auction will equally benefit, 50% to each, Variety – The Children’s Charity of Southern California; and The Hetrick-Martin Institute, home of the Harvey Milk High School, in New York City.
