1975 Totem Pole Jumpsuit

Displayed at Graceland with the Red Armadillo belt originally designed for one of Elvis' two-piece stage suits. When seeing stage photos of these suits being worn it's hard to tell what exactly makes up all of the design work. But getting to see these stunning jumpsuits and all their intricacies in person, it's clear that these are a work of art all in themselves!

#its crazy to see these garments and how these big patches of color and shapes were made. they could have just as easily screen printed or #sewn color blocks to make majority of the designs but they chose to hand sew stips of beading and ribbon and thread to embroider the #designs and make a patchwork of textures with the multitude of materials used and the method they used to attach them too #stunning #elvis #elvis presley #cici 'n graceln'#totem pole jumpsuit #jumpsuit #elvis jumpsuits #70s elvis #big daddy elvis #1975 #i also was really suprised to see the sleeves are attached and therefor the layerd vest look is fake. i was fooled. especially when he #wears the white scarf with it and tucks it in...genius versatility #bde #elvis aaron presley #my edits #a damn fucking shame the chokers arent on display tho #fashion #stagewear #costume design #clothing
