With the current wave of denim and western influences, it’s time to revisit the flamboyant and kitschy rockabilly style of the Nudie Suit by Nudie Cohn, the Rodeo Tailor. Originally crafting diamanté G-strings for New York strip clubs, Ukrainian-born Nudie Cohn and his wife relocated to Hollywood in 1947. There, they pioneered the extravagantly embroidered rhinestone cowboy look made famous by stars like Liberace, Elton John, and Elvis Presley. In fact, Cohn designed Presley’s iconic $10,000 gold lamé suit, Hank Williams’ white cowboy suit adorned with music notes on the sleeves, and similarly festive outfits for Dolly Parton, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Cher, John Lennon, and Johnny Cash. Beyond clothing, Nudie Cohn also had a passion for customizing classic American cars. He meticulously personalized 18 vehicles, mostly white Pontiac Bonneville convertibles, equipping them with silver-dollar-studded dashboards, pistol door handles and gearshifts, and longhorn steer hood ornaments.
