Winner of numerous music awards and prizes, as well as Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Sir Elton John has always had a strong influence on both fashion and music.  To celebrate his 73rd birthday today, L'Officiel takes a walk down memory lane remembering all of the singer's best fashion moments

The artist&#39;s career began in the 60s . Looking at the photos of that time, it is hard to believe that we are facing the same <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eltonjohn/" target="_blank">Elton John</a>, who we are all used to see perfoming in&nbsp;shocking, provocative and even insane outfits. Back in the days&nbsp;the artist preferred elegant&nbsp;and classic silhouettes.

During the &nbsp;70s, the images of the singer became more original and extraordinary. This is largely due to the fact that designer Bob Mackie began to create his stage-outfits. He brought to life the most daring ideas of Elton John. It was this blind-courage in the singer&#39;s ouftis choices,&nbsp;both stage and everyday, that formed the musician&#39;s unique, memorable, and unlikely personality.

After a while, his concerts were waited not only for his incredible perfomances but also to discover which crazy look the singer would have sported

In the 80s and 90s , the artist went through troubling times in his personal life, but he never stopped delighting fans with bright outfits and new hits. During this time, for one of Elton John&#39;s tours, the costumes were created by the great Gianni Versace, whose friendship the performer greatly valued.

During&nbsp;the mid 2000s, the artist&#39;s style became&nbsp;more restrained, trouser suits were his things. However, Elton John also kept&nbsp;favor bright colors, extravagant prints and accessories.

Sir Elton John&#39;s influence on the world of music and fashion cannot be overstated. He serves as an inspiration for many designers. For example in 2018, the creative director of Gucci <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alessandro_michele/">Alessandro Michele</a> created the capsule collection &quot;Levon&quot; - the same name with the singer&#39;s single, released in 1971.

&quot;What&#39;s wrong with expressing yourself just trying to be yourself?&quot; - says the performer in one of his interviews. And this quote really fully reflects the style of Elton John - bright, original, unique.
