Remember when Elvis Presley’s white jumpsuits changed how men dressed forever?

When Elvis Presley made broadcasting history in 1973, he was dressed in a white bell-bottomed jumpsuit, embellished with a bald eagle made from red, gold and blue studs. As the Memphis singer crooned away on a stage in Honolulu, his concert “Aloha from Hawaii” was being simultaneously broadcast in 40 different countries. The historic event – the first ever satellite concert for a solo artist – was seen by more than 1.5 billion people. Presley wore a patriotic all-American outfit – a rebel act against fashion norms of the time with its glamorous, gender-fluid take on menswear.
