FOLLOWER OF<br />
FASHION<br />
Memphis’ top tailor<br />
gives us their retro<br />
fashion tips<br />
Those are the oft-repeated words of one John Lennon, who<br />
knew a thing or two about being an icon. In honour of the<br />
legendary singer, and director Baz Luhrmann’s besequinned,<br />
big-screen biopic, we’ve cooked up this special print edition<br />
of <strong>NME</strong>. In its pages we’ll roll back time to the birth of pop,<br />
and bring you closer than ever to the one and only Elvis<br />
Aaron Presley. Remember to pack those (blue suede)<br />
dancing shoes, ’cos there’ll be a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on.<br />
You’ll also meet the star of Elvis, Austin Butler – and hear<br />
how music’s next generation is being inspired to follow in<br />
the original rock rebel’s footsteps. Oh, and Baz himself<br />
drops by to show us his ultimate playlist of songs that<br />
spark his creative genius.<br />
Thank you, thank you very much.<br />
