Elvis Fashion Style Showcased at Graceland

The year-long celebration of Elvis Presley�s 75th Birthday continues with the �Elvis Presley: Fashion King� exhibit at Graceland. The exhibit is the first of its kind at Elvis� home in Memphis, and explores fashion trends ushered in by the King of Rock �n� Roll.

�Elvis Presley: Fashion King� showcases everything from the king�s handmade shirts and casual suits to his flashy jewelry and shoes. Visitors will see the evolution of Elvis� outfits, from an artist�s sketch to the final product, and how these custom creations were made.

The exhibit provides visitors with the feeling that they are peeking into Elvis� personal closet. There are casual suits, top coats, hats, scarves, more than 50 shirts and many accessories, including a custom necklace featuring more than 220 diamonds and a 11.5-carat diamond solitaire ring.

�Elvis Presley: Fashion King� will be open through March of 2012. It is one of three new exhibits to open at Graceland in 2010. A special exhibit opened on Elvis� 75th birthday on January 8, 2010, chronicling key portions of Elvis� life before he became an international singing sensation. Also opening as part of the year-long birthday celebration is a special exhibit featuring Elvis� iconic stage costumes from 1969-1977.

In addition to these new exhibits, visitors can tour the Graceland mansion and 14-acre property, where they can follow in Elvis� footsteps as they enjoy an audio-guided tour featuring commentary and stories by Elvis and his daughter Lisa Marie.
