I just love a man who wants to be exactly who he is.
Nudie had a rare knack for helping people invent themselves. Nudie would take his own signature style and bend and twist it into new and different creations that would become the signature of his clients.
Case in point is Bootsy Collins. The Rhinestone Cowboy begat the Rhinestone Rock Star and Bootsy continues to wear his amazing Rhinestone Rock Star hat with pride. Check out this video of Bootsy talking to CNN about being black in America.
Even though being black ain't always the easy thing, Bootsy wouldn't have it any other way.
It helps that his crown has more rhinestones than you will ever see on a hat. With a chapeau like that, a man just couldn't imagine being anything other than what he is. Thanks to Nudie.
