Artist (American, born 1970)
Decade2010
DescriptionThis one-of-a-kind silver stage outfit was custom-made for John 5 in 2010 by Cody Varona, founder of Forgotten Saints LA, a legendary rock ’n’ roll boutique on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. Known for creating iconic stagewear for music royalty—including Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, and more—Cody’s designs blend punk, glam, and metal aesthetics into wearable art.

Forgotten Saints LA has been a cornerstone of rock fashion since the 1990s, specializing in handcrafted pieces made from leather, metal, and vintage fabrics. Each garment is a collaboration with the artist, designed to capture their message and stage persona.

This silver outfit was one of John 5’s favorites. With no backup, he wore it at every single show, photo shoot, and video appearance during that era. Its heavy leather kept him warm during cold performances and made hot shows unforgettable.
