ICONIC Elvis’s eccentric attire became his trademark in the 1970s. Embellished jumpsuits with matching capes and bejewelled belts were created by costume designer Bill Belew. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Our lithe leopard illustration Panthera was inspired by these iconic stage costumes and jewellery, at once beautifully intricate and shamelessly bold in design. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Woven in a decadent cut-pile velvet construction our leopard motif is sunken into the cloth and detailed using a rhythmic binding, adding further depth and dimension to the pattern.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Featured - Gold.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #royalmenagerie #catherinemartin #velvet #elvis #elvismovie #leopard #maximalisim #textiles #upholstery ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ @catherinemartindesign
