"The jumpsuit was Bill's idea; he was inspired by clothing from the Napoleonic era, particularly the high collars. Of course, jumpsuits were practical for Elvis because they allowed him to move around onstage without worrying about getting his clothing snagged on something," Douchette explained.
He continued, "And like a lot of things that you do for women, when you're designing their clothes, is to draw your attention to their face. And I thought, well if I have the collar up there, people will notice his face and it'll frame it, and however I do it, and that's how the collar came about."
Elvis Presley's jumpsuit era lasted from 1970 through 1977. The king of rock and roll was found dead in his Graceland home in August 1977. He was 42.
