When I was first beginning out in the costume business, the most beloved costume choices were all the time legendary figures: Elvis white jumpsuit while his Vegas days, Marilyn Monroe in her "7 Year Itch" signature white dress, Lucille Ball from her beloved "I Love Lucy" show. Like Micheal Jackson, these celebs were iconic in that they had very collective lives long before reality television. To this day, there is speculation if Elvis somehow faked his death, or that Marilyn was murdered. The recurring theme in many of their lives is often that of a troubled man who is catapulted to fame. Drug abuse is often the thread that connects these legends. But even more than that, is their quality to not just succeed trends, but in effect set them.
French Connection Dresses
Madonna (while still very much alive), in many ways emulated Marilyn Monroe while the 80's and 90's, created a whole new following with her "Like a Virgin" and "Torpedo Bustier" look, practice made by French designer Jean Paul Gautier. Some of the most trends were made by her own self-styling. Liberace took Elton John's piano man look to the extreme, with his pompadour, elaborate feather and sequined cloaks and ring filled fingers. Freddy Mercury, front man of the 70's and 80's band Queen, pushed the envelope on tight, with his glam rock jumpsuits and tights
The composition of an early death by drugs and rock n' roll is the most clear in the passing of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. What makes these legends iconic is their very short lives that burned so brightly with an immense talent followed by a sad end. They had their own inevitable styling as well, and continues to be requested to this day.
Finally, you cannot talk about legends without mentioning Cher. One of the most requested costume has to be her "I Got You Babe" look. Her influence is so great in that she began a connection with designer Bob Mackie from a young age who designed her one-of-a-kind looks for her red carpet, television and concert appearances.
