New Spring Fashion Inspired by Elvis

October 23, 2012


A well-known fasionista and respected designer is turning to Elvis as inspiration for her new spring collection. In a new article titled "Calling All Cool Girls: Isabel Marant Rocks with Playful Elvis-Inspired Collection," CultureMap.com looks at how the king's fashion is still influencing the Paris runway.

French designer Isabel Marant introduced the collection during a show at the Couventy de Cordeliers last week. The new collection combines fun patterns inspired by Elvis in Hawaii and the king's Las Vegas performances. The collection features paisley-print minis and rompers, bathing suits with a '50s twist, and Marant's signature trousers.

"The blue and white Hawaiian prints are popped with bright red embroidery, and the accessories — studded leather belts and sandals — are reminiscent of Elvis’s studded white bell bottoms in his Las Vegas

I do not see that this has anything to do with ELVIS.............

It's quite a stretch to liken these clothes to what Elvis wore....so much so that I can't see a resemblance at all.....

The only thing that I could see as a slight Elvis resemblance is the lady on the left has the wild design on the side of her pants leg.

Well Elvis wore a lot of paisley during the early 70's; like remember his shirts during TTWII, the shirts under his '72 Stage Two pieces suits, (the desing on the legs of those), the Madison Square Garden interview or Aloha Arrival shirts etc. He was pretty much all about paisley in that period.

The skirt of the girl on the right side looks a bit in the style of the leather two piece suits he wore on Aug '74 (The Emperor, The Rainfal, The Glass of whine suits)
