CHOCOLYN local Phil Russell has had a rather unique hand in the success of the Elvis: Direct from Graceland exhibition in Bendigo.
Mr Russell, who owns Custom Mannequin Solutions, was contracted to supply about 45 mannequins to showcase Elvis’ costumes in the exhibition.
He said he fell into the industry about 30 years ago after seeing an advertisement in The Age for a business for sale suiting a handyman.
The rest, as they say, is history.
