FTD 2Cd + Book Fashion For A King

Elvis Presley made a special fashion of his famous and spectacular stage outfits, sometimes referred to as “jumpsuits”. But what many people don’t know is that these suits have their own names and their own story to tell. Not many people know how these outfits came to be characteristics for Elvis on stage, and their development during the years. It all started with the black leather suit in 1968, and ended with the “Mexican Sundial” suit in 1977.

This 500+ page encyclopaedia will documentary all of Elvis' suits from his famous Comeback Special in 1968, his return to live performances in Las Vegas in 1969 and his many tours and TV specials through the 1970s. You will have the background story of each and every suit, when Elvis wore them for the first and the last time – and their whereabouts today.  This incredible book will also give you the background story of the very skilled designers who made these outfits famous.

This book is the result of hundreds of working hours with research and “digging” through enormous amounts of documentation. After doing a long article series in the Norwegian Flaming Star fan club magazine the publisher, Pål Granlund, wanted to be involved in making such a book. Pål Granlund is one of a few Norwegians that has had the honour of meeting the King in person in Las Vegas and on tour. As a result of this – for the first time – here is a book with a fully documented story and pictures of Elvis Presley’s stage outfits. Never has a book been more complete on the subject, and you’ll see rare photos and photos you have never seen before. Elvis became an icon in these outfits.

The book will also contain two live shows.
