This over-the-top ensemble dates to the “Peacock Revolution” of the late 1960s and early 1970s, an era when many men wore bold colors and extreme silhouettes as protest against conservative post-World War II styles (think of actor Gregory Peck (1916-2003) in the 1956 classic, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit). Contemporaries would have deemed this outfit “Funky!” and “Outta Sight!”—exclamations overheard in fashionable London’s Carnaby Street, New York’s Harlem, and Paris’s Left Bank.
