I absolutely loved this book! As a casual Elvis fan I thought I'd read all there is to say about his life, but Zoey Goto's book proved me wrong. It is packed with insights on Presley and his aesthetic world, including never seen before items of clothing and quotes from design experts. Elvis Style would appeal to design and fashion students, Elvis fans or anyone who is interested in fining out more about The King and how he crafted his distinctive image. Viva The King!
