In the year 1970 the Egyptian Tutankhamen Exhibition was held at the British Museum in London. A Fashion designer, John Jones visited this interesting exhibition and saw objects that were used in Ancient Egypt during the Pharaoh Tutankhamen period such as; Sculptors of bears, Vases, Body adornment, and much more things.

In 1976 John Jones produced an Egyptian Akhnaton Coat costume, that probably as an inspiration he was influenced by the exhibition that he visited in 1970.
