Summary:

The Rolls Royce of Elvis books, Elvis Fashion: From Memphis to Vegas will be the first to document the extraordinary costume and apparel collection at Graceland. Elvis fans and fashion aficionados will be unable to resist the book's incredible new photography and sexy design, but they will also be fascinated to learn of Elvis' profound love of clothes, as evidenced by his vast array of hats, scarves, belts, and so much more. Sequined jumpsuits, leather pants, embroidered capes, and an exquisite collection of accessories epitomize this beloved celebrity as his career skyrocketed in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. All-new photography of the costumes and apparel in the book will be accompanied by archival photographs of Elvis wearing them, as well as sketches, and other original documentation. The text will chronicle Elvis' development as a fashion icon and discuss the influence he continues to have more than twenty-five years after his death.
