Aus der IMDB:
During pre-production, Don Johnson wanted Sonny Crockett to be „more of a cowboy“, and suggested „a lot of denim, V-neck sweaters and cowboy boots“. He was really unsure about how the heavy use of pastel and bright colors would fit the macho, no-nonsense persona of his character, but producer Michael Mann and costume designer Jodie Lynn Tillen managed to convince him. They saw Crockett more in the lines of a beach bum. Johnson relented and as a result became one of the biggest fashion symbols of the 1980s.
