Title
Beatles suit and Beatle boots
Description
The Beatles collarless suit was designed by Pierre Cardin. He began his career working under Christian Dior as a tailor for menswear. This carried over into his designs later into his career as "Cardin deconstructed the traditional business suit. He subtracted collars, cuffs, and lapels, creating one of the most compelling images of the early 1960s." This article of clothing became known as the collarless suit that was worn by the Beatles. The Beatles often wore these boots with the Chelsea boot, then became known as the Beatle boot. The Beatles took caught the eye of the world, and in turn, everything they wore was closely monitored. The Beatle's influence on fashion carried further than only the collarless suit and the Beatle boots.
