By royal decree

The detailed research Catherine Martin immersed herself in for
Elvis is now realised in her new collection of luxurious textiles.

By Virginia Jen Photographed by Victoria Zschommler Styled by Joseph Gardner

Embroidered visual detail, sumptuous fabrics
and animal print have all found a place in
producer and costume and production designer
Catherine Martin’s latest collaboration,
The Royal Menagerie collection with Mokum.
Evocative names recall striking motifs in Elvis
Presley’s life — Royal Peacock, Monkey
Business, Midnight Symphony, Jungle Room
and Bengal Tiger, to name but a few. A cushion
upholstered in a plush, patterned textile will
bring a touch of decadence to proceedings that
Presley would no doubt appreciate.
