Bill Clinton Tony Alamo > Hollywood

Why does Hollywood embrace the shitty jackets of a brutal cult leader?

The jackets were a hot fashion commodity in the eighties. Flashy and expensive, they were a favorite among celerities. Dolly Parton, Mike Tyson, Brooke Shields, Burt Reynolds — anybody who was anybody wanted to be photographed in one. Michael Jackson wore a customized leather version on the cover of the Bad album.

Today, the jackets, with their boxy fit, stonewash finish, elaborate airbrushed designs, and sparkling Swarovski crystals are having another moment in fashion. Tastemakers like Nicki Minaj, ASAP Rocky, Miley Cyrus, and Frances Bean Cobain have all recently been photographed wearing the highly sought-after vintage Tony Alamo of Nashville jackets.
