As A huge Elvis fan I really enjoyed reading about where his fashion sense came from and the stories behind the outfits. Shame no pictures for us to see. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy

Elvis: The King of Fashion by Lorraine Gibson struck a chord with me, and I'm excited to share why it's a must-read for any fan of The King.
As someone who lives and breathes rock 'n' roll, I've always been captivated by the style and swagger of the legends who paved the way. And let's be honest, no one embodied rock 'n' roll style quite like Elvis Presley.

Elvis: The King Of Fashion dives deep into the evolution of his iconic fashion sense. From the moment he wandered into Lansky's on Beale Street as a teenager, Elvis began crafting a look that would define not just his career but an entire generation. Gibson's exploration of his style journey—from the pink suits and sultry leather to those unforgettable rhinestone jumpsuits—offers a fresh perspective on how Elvis used fashion as a form of self-expression and rebellion.

This book stands out because it blends Elvis's fashion evolution with his personal story. We all know the rags-to-riches tale of the boy from Tupelo who became the King of Rock' n' Roll, but seeing it through the lens of his fashion choices adds a whole new layer to his legacy. It's fascinating to learn how each outfit and hairstyle was more than just a look—it was a statement, a way for Elvis to stand out in a world that wasn't ready for someone like him.

As a lifelong fan of Elvis, I found myself smiling at the anecdotes and reminiscing about how his style has influenced my wardrobe over the years. There's something timeless about how Elvis dressed, and Gibson captures that essence beautifully. Whether it's his defiant hair or those famous sideburns, every detail is considered with love and respect.

Gibson emphasizes Elvis's role as an architect of his success. He wasn't just following trends—he was setting them. And in doing so, he became the blueprint for countless others daring to be different. His fashion wasn't just about clothes but about identity, confidence, and breaking down barriers. That message still rings true today, especially for those of us who continue challenging the norms in our lives.

If you're an Elvis fan, a fashion lover, or someone who appreciates the intersection of music and style, Elvis: The King of Fashion is a book you need on your shelf. It's a celebration of the man who wasn't just the King of Rock' n' Roll—he was the King of Fashion, too. So grab a copy, slip into your blue suede shoes, and get ready to be inspired by the one and only Elvis Presley.

Elvis: The King of Fashion is a perfect book for any Elvis fan. This book tells the story how not only was Elvis the king of Rock n Roll but he was a fashion icon! Elvis opened up a whole new whole to fashion during his time to not only clothing, but also his hairstyle and more!

I love elvis and read qnything about him but this was boring without seeing the pictures was it interesting about his clothes yee but over all it dodnt wow me

I wasn’t quite sure what this book would be about. I have read a few Elvis books and they have all been pretty good. This one was as well! I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of information and multiple resources this book contained. Not only was it about his clothing, but it gave an inside look from a different perspective than I have read before.

The clothing shop, Lansky’s, in Memphis Tennessee, is where it all began. Elvis wandered into the shop when he was a teenager and fell in love with the style of clothing they had. Lansky’s was his go-to place for outfits for years. The store was located on the very famous Beale Street and was popular for decades to come. Gibson shared wonderful pictures with us and I learned a few things about Elvis that I didn’t know before. What a fun and entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley and White Owl for the ARC of this book.

I asked for this book, to be gifted because I have always loved Elvis. With that being said, this was such a well written and detailed book! I love fashion, I love vintage times and Elvis. It was perfect. It didn’t only focus on his fashion, but his upbringing and history. There are so many facts, I did not know about! His original house was only $180?! Insane. It told stories of his addiction, his struggles and so much more. I loved hearing about his family, even though it’s a sad story to tell. If you’re a fan of Elvis and love hearing about life in that decade, I’d highly recommend!

Lorraine Gibson shares the evolution of Elvis' attire throughout the years. Through jumpsuits, leathers, rhinestones, and capes.

Elvis was definitely not only the King of Rock n Roll, he was the King of fashion as well and has influenced generations even to this day.

Author Lorraine Gibson’s book pays homage to not only Elvis’ style, but his literal rags to riches story, featuring interviews and an in-depth look of the 2022 movie. This is a must-have for any Elvis fan, and I’ll be preordering the hardcover edition.
