dragon suit
The dragon suit was a costume worn by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin during 10 known concerts in the 70s. It consisted of matching high riding pants and a bolero style jacket, (jacket usually open with no undershirt) emblazoned with red and orange dragons snaking along the whole outfit, along with other colorful runic symbols. The base material was black, although there was a white version as well. It remains the most magnificent rock uniform donned by Mr. Page during Zeppelin’s age, complementing the Earl’s Court performances of 1975 when it most famously worn. Its creator is somewhat of a mystery, though any correction to that notion is welcome to the legions of Zeppelin’s fans, who out of a need for truth would pay cheap credit to Pamela Des Barres. Absurd, that this greatest of electric blues dress would be forgotten by the designer, but oh well. Today, you can by little plastic figurines of Jimmy wearing the black or white versions as a tribute to the awesome rock god garb.
In some respects, you can use it as a term for your own personal best dress for some kind of performance.
