The Wall Street Journal is crediting Elvis for giving Hawaiian shirts a boost in popularity in a recent article about designers trying new patterns.
In an article titled “When Designers Meddle With Hawaiian Shirts,” the Wall Street Journal says, “The shirts got a celebrity boost after Elvis Presley sported one of designer Alfred Shanheen’s Hawaiian shirts on the cover of the “Blue Hawaii” soundtrack.”
Hawaii was very important to Elvis both as a place to perform and as his own personal vacation destination. In January, Elvis fans will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Aloha from Hawaii in Honolulu.
