"Women in Tuxedos" is an Exhibit of black & white photographs of women wearing the photographer's own tuxedo, and shot in the elegant and sophisticated style of Coco Chanel and Yves St. Laurent.  "Women in Tuxedos" is a work in progress premiered at PaulaBarr Chelsea and will result in a book of the same name. 

The aim of the series is to have each model wear Jack's tuxedo, and to bring some favorite accessories to the shoot, so that the tuxedo is transformed and the model's own personality comes through.  The images may be viewed at portraits.  The model also participates in styling the shoot and feels entirely comfortable in the men's formal clothes.  All who have participated in these shoots thought them great fun.

At one of the shoots, the model brought her favorite silk scarf, which produced an image with an elegant and sensuous look.  In another shoot, the model brought a black fur collar piece that she wore over my white tuxedo shirt without the jacket.  In another, the model, who rode horses, brought her riding boots and crop, and stuffed the tuxedo pants into her boots.  The shoot came out with a beautiful "Daughter of the Estate" look.  In another image, the subtitle contrasts between the candle and champagne glass, and the model's wrist tattoo and her chaste silver brooch provide visual comparisons that keep drawing the viewer back.

The images are stunning and combine the worlds of fashion and fine art in a unique way.
