Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley began a fashion revolution in the early 1970s with his elaborately detailed attire. Presley’s sleek jumpsuits were immortalized in his Aloha From Hawaii television special and the feature film Elvis. The author of the book “Elvis: From Zoot Suits to Jumpsuits” stated that Presley’s “body-accentuating” jumpsuits lent a “seductive” air to his performances.

Why did Elvis Presley change his fashion style?

In the late 1960s, desperate for a music career revival after spending years making Hollywood films, Elvis Presley dramatically shifted his image. Prior to his days as an actor, Presley was best known for looks that featured bright colors, tight pants, and slicked-back hair.
