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.

Our love affair with the high street is slowly fading, with predictions that second-hand fashion will overtake fast fashion within the next decade. This movement away from mass produced clothing has been largely driven by millennial consumers - motivated by eco-concerns, financial restrictions and a desire to express more individuality through their styling and garments. Technology has also been a game-changer, with apps and websites eliminating the need to riffle through dusty piles of clothing to bag a bargain. Vintage Style taps into this current interest in retro fashion, by showcasing vintage style fans from around the world - from young women dressing at Louis XIV in London, to a Tiki inspired palace in Palm Springs, and from a couple recreating The Golden Era of Hollywood in LA, to a Japanese Lolita in British suburbia. Vintage Style peeks inside the wardrobes and lifestyles of each vintage enthusiast, showcasing the resourceful ways they are interpreting bygone styles, and asking them why they chose to live out of step with contemporary fashion. Packed with images and ideas to inspire fellow vintage style enthusiasts.
