Alan Flusser

Everybody makes up about...

You know, there's all these weird ones, and some I think, you know, you take with, like, all, you think of all those Alan Flusser, you know, Dress Down man.

Yeah.

There's so many of these ones, and some make sense, some don't.

And the job losses and disruption made a lot of people angry at the time A fun side story is that the look on Wall Street at the time would have been much more conservative than the way that Gordon Gekko dressed in the film, with his contrast collar shirts, suspenders, Cartier watch, and peak lapel suits.

Apparently, Alan Flusser, who owned a custom and made-to-measure suit store in New York, came up with the look for the Gordon Gekko character, which Michael Douglas loved, and after the film came out, Wall Street guys started dressing like Gordon Gekko.

So the film inspired the Wall Street look of the late '80s rather than Wall Street inspiring the look of the film.

The way that people dress at work has changed quite a bit over time.
