The title had been conferred on them by their tour manager on their 1969 US tour, and stuck ever since. The 1972 tour, labelled “one of the benchmarks of an era” by Dave Marsh (an American music journalist), was covered by well-established writers such as Terry Southern (screenwriter of <i>Easy Rider</i>) and Truman Capote. This was a first for a rock tour, and indicative of how the tour was perceived culturally.\r\n\r\nThe Stones tour coincided with the explosion of the glam rock movement in British pop. David Bowie’s androgynous alien and Marc Bolan’s glitter pixie were dominating <i>Top of the Pops</i> and <i>Melody Maker,</i> and their stylistic influence was palpable across the British music scene. Mick Jagger's somewhat androgynous stage personality fit the aesthetic of glam rock. This costume was custom designed for him by Ossie Clark, known for his romantic flowing gowns and unabashed show-stopping garments. Jagger had become a client of Clark in the late 1960s, and this voluptuous outfit was reminiscent of costumes worn by Bowie - an all-in-one velvet jumpsuit, with large areas uncovered.","physicalDescription":"Off-white panné velvet jumpsuit with shoulder straps to front, open at chest and fastened above waist with laces, and wide flared trousers. The suit decorated set all over with perspex lozenges, each centred with a metal stud. A few of the perspex lozenges show vestiges of silver paint, and photographs of Jagger wearing it confirm that they were all originally silver. The silver would probably have been removed when the costume was washed.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Clark, Ossie","id":"A11431"},"association":{"text":"costume designer","id":"AAT163428"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"velvet","id":"AAT133711"},{"text":"lycra","id":"x32923"},{"text":"perspex","id":"AAT14435"},{"text":"metal","id":"AAT10900"}],"techniques":[{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Velvet, lycra, perspex and metal","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Costumes","id":"THES269529"},{"text":"Glam rock","id":"THES291513"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2025PB6494","2025PB6496","2025PB6498","2025PB6497","2025PB6495","2025PB6499","2025PB6501","2025PB6500","2009BY2066","2009BY1406","2009BY1372"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"BritMusicLvpl","id":"THES275616"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Costume","id":"AAT209261"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"No","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1972","earliest":"1972-01-01","latest":"1972-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Sir Mick Jagger","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"165","unit":"cm","qualifier":"Maximum","date":{"text":"19/03/2024","earliest":"2024-03-19","latest":"2024-03-19"},"part":"Height of mannequin","note":"Mounted dimensions"},{"dimension":"Width","value":"60","unit":"cm","qualifier":"Maximum","date":{"text":"19/03/2024","earliest":"2024-03-19","latest":"2024-03-19"},"part":"Across mannequin at widest point","note":"Mounted dimensions"},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"38","unit":"cm","qualifier":"Maximum","date":{"text":"19/03/2024","earliest":"2024-03-19","latest":"2024-03-19"},"part":"Depth of mannequin including base","note":"Mounted dimensions"}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Jumpsuit worn by Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones' 1972 European and USA tours.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Jumpsuit worn by Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones' 1972 European and American tours","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Stage costume worn by Mick Jagger\r\n1972\r\n\r\nWorn on the Rolling Stones' 1972 European tour, this slim jump suit illustrates the fusion between fashion and pop.
