209. Dressing Rock Legends. My Wild Ride From Janis Joplin to Cher and the Rolling Stones

🎙️ Too Young to Be Old: Dressing Rock Legends. My Wild Ride From Janis Joplin to Cher, Rolling Stones, and Beyond

Ever wondered what it was really like behind the velvet ropes of rock’s wildest years? Diane Gilman—once Hollywood’s sought-after designer for music royalty—pulls back the curtain on a lost era of music, fashion, and pure outrageousness. From late-night denim handoffs to Janis Joplin, Cher clearing out her store in a white Rolls, to all-access passes with Jefferson Airplane, Rod Stewart, and Deep Purple, Diane’s personal stories capture the untamed spirit of the 60s and 70s—plus what it meant to take creative risks, break all the rules, and see stardom up close before the industry changed forever.

In This Episode:

• Cher’s Wild Shopping Spree. The day Cher and Sonny cleaned out Diane’s neon yellow boutique, buying every rack of hand-sewn dresses in one dizzying trip
• Janis Joplin and the Denim Exchange. How a backstage act of generosity put Diane’s handmade jacket in the hands of rock’s rawest star
• Deep Purple, Jefferson Airplane, and Sly Stone. Stitching, painting, and patching for a world of superstars, friends, and yes—a few famous groupies
• The Art of the Vest. Why hand-painted, hand-fringed leather and denim vests became the calling cards for rock gods and goddesses
• Parties, Backstage Access, and Famous Faces. Wild birthday bashes with Rod Stewart, psychedelic car rides with Jefferson Airplane, and the rush of meeting legends before they were icons
• The Rolling Stones and the Changing Industry. How the rock scene exploded into big business, and why personal touches gave way to mass production and anonymity
• From Rock to TV. Diane’s transition from music’s creative fringe to live television, bringing decades of wild stories and style to millions
