Elvis Style is a celebration of the aesthetic world of Elvis
Presley. As one of the most significant pop icons of the 20th
century, Elvis' impact on the music world has been widely discussed
and analysed. Surprisingly, however, his influence on design and
fashion remains largely overlooked. Elvis Style investigates why
Elvis was, and continues to be, an icon of style, focusing on his
wonderfully expressive hairstyles, clothes, cars, and interiors.
Elvis Style offers the reader an intriguing and insightful journey
though the crazy, cool and at times kitsch world of a true
megastar. Contemporary design experts have been interviewed to
offer fresh insights into Elvis' style choices. These include Sex
and the City stylist Patricia Fields, costume designer Deborah
Nadoolman Landis (Michael Jackson's Thriller) Oscar-winning costume
designer Mark Bridges (The Artist), the British celebrity
hairdresser Trevor Sorbie, Andy Lecompte (Madonna's hairstylist),
Savile Row tailor Edward Sexton, Andy Spade (Jack Spade and Kate
Spade brands) academics from the University of Mississippi, the
Victoria & Albert Museum, George Barris (creator of the
Bat-mobile and Elvis' personal car-customiser) and Hal Lansky of
Lansky Brothers (Elvis' favourite tailoring house) who has also
provided the foreword for Elvis Style. Elvis Style includes around
150 photos, many of which are full colour and show rarely seen
before Elvis-worn garments, interiors and cars from Elvis'
extensive private collection.
