When I was first beginning out in the costume business, the most favorite costume choices were always legendary figures: Elvis white jumpsuit during his Vegas days, Marilyn Monroe in her "7 Year Itch" signature white dress, Lucille Ball from her favorite "I Love Lucy" show. Like Micheal Jackson, these celebs were iconic in that they had very group lives long before reality television. To this day, there is venture if Elvis somehow faked his death, or that Marilyn was murdered. The recurring theme in many of their lives is often that of a troubled person who is catapulted to fame. Drug abuse is often the thread that connects these legends. But even more than that, is their quality to not just supervene trends, but de facto set them.

Madonna (while still very much alive), in many ways emulated Marilyn Monroe during the 80's and 90's, created a whole new following with her "Like a Virgin" and "Torpedo Bustier" look, custom made by French designer Jean Paul Gautier. Some of the greatest trends were made by her own self-styling. Liberace took Elton John's piano man look to the extreme, with his pompadour, expound feather and sequined cloaks and ring filled fingers. Freddy Mercury, front man of the 70's and 80's band Queen, pushed the envelope on tight, with his glam rock jumpsuits and tights
The blend of an early death by drugs and rock n' roll is the most obvious in the passing of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. What makes these legends iconic is their very short lives that burned so brightly with an massive talent followed by a sad end. They had their own positive styling as well, and continues to be requested to this day.
Finally, you cannot talk about legends without mentioning Cher. One of the most requested costume has to be her "I Got You Babe" look. Her work on is so great in that she began a connection with designer Bob Mackie from a young age who designed her one-of-a-kind looks for her red carpet, television and concert appearances.
