Elvis: Dressed to Rock – The Hidden History of the King’s Closet
In 1956, Las Vegas wasn’t ready for Elvis Presley. Billed as “The Atomic Singer,” his debut at the New Frontier fell flat with an indifference audience. But when he returned in 1969, he possessed a secret weapon: costume designer Bill Belew.
In this captivating presentation based on the groundbreaking book Elvis: Dressed to Rock, costume historian Karan Feder exposes the thrilling evolution of the King’s iconic stage wardrobe. Utilizing exclusive, unprecedented access to the Graceland archives, Feder reveals fresh discoveries hidden within the institution’s renowned collection.

Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event through the author.
