PAUL'S COSTUMES

Dynasty tour 1979


In 1979 KISS were no longer just KISS, but SuperKISS! And the new outfits were reflecting the new superhero image!
For the solo albums each member had their own signature color, and this was incorporated into the outfits, and the shows as well.

Paul's outfit were the usual black leotard with an open chest. But instead of stars, the costume and boots had "peacock feather"-like designs in Paul's signature color, purple. 
Over that Paul would usually wear a jacket, also in bright purple (picture A). The jacket was held together by a belt with a star buckle.   
All four members would enter the stage in superhero-capes... Paul's can be seen on picture B - a silver cape, with black lining. As it is seen on the picture, the cape went over one shoulder and under the other arm (held by a rhinestone covered cross belt). The cape wasn't used much, but can be seen in the "Shandi" promo video! On picture C you can see the cape laid out on the ground, which gives a very good look at the design.
Picture D shows more details of the purple jacket: a rhinestone covered collar, two rhinestone covered shoulder pads, and a set of rhinestone covered cuffs. The cuffs were detachable (which can be seen in video footage shot backstage for a TV show).

Picture G is a rare view of the backside of the costume. Note that this is the version also shown in picture E!

Picture I shows a variation in the boots... I guess they are the same as in picture H, but these has a kneepad, covered with rhinestones, attached (circled in).
And last, but not least, the sleeves of the purple jacket were detachable as seen in picture J.
