16.01.2022 In this episode of Inside the Archives, Elvis Presley's Graceland is taking a closer look at items pertaining to Elvis' relationship with fashion designer and good friend, Bill Belew. In June of 1968, Elvis met Bill on the set of his upcoming TV special to go over costume ideas. He would then go on to make the black leather outfit and other items Elvis wore in the '68 NBC Comeback Special. Belew continued to design both on-stage and offstage wardrobe for Elvis throughout t...he 1970's. Among the most famous of Belew's Elvis jumpsuits are the American Eagle (created for the 1973 Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite) and the Peacock (first worn at the Forum in Los Angeles in 1974, and later seen on the cover to the 1975 album Promised Land). He also designed the suit Elvis is wearing on the famous photo of President Nixon and him in the Oval Office, a velveteen outfit originally designed for Elvis to use in his Las Vegas shows.
