Photo Diary: Elvis Week 2013

This month, the only place to be for die-hard Elvis fans was Elvis Week, the annual seven-day celebration in Memphis, Tennessee celebrating The King of Rock and Roll's legacy. Hot on the heels of the Opening Ceremony x Elvis collection launch, we dispatched TN-based photographer Joseph Miner to capture the tens of thousands of Elvis-worshippers who flocked to the Volunteer State (sidenote: Volunteer State? Gotta love those big hearts full of southern hospitality!) to commemorate the 36th anniversary of Presley's death. See the embellished outfits, the vigils, the legions of impersonators, and more below.
