Paris: Boutique of Bouquets
Nestled by the Hôtel Costes, this little gem offering '"bouquets of roses for all occasions". At an appropriate rue Saint-Honoré price of course.
Tux Week: Sergio & Sebastiano
Segway to the latest Eidos campaign, La Casetta In Sabbia. "The Little House in the Sand"... More specifically, here on the roof of that little house.
Tux Week : Sharp n Dark
Another very wearable charcoal mini houndstooth. Zeph the long haired lion up the top of the windy bell tower in Florence.
Tux Week : Back to Black
Enough with the light summery tux's. Great New York City shawl collar tux here. AKC would probably call it "dark charcoal" but in gritty black and white it's pretty much black isn't it...

Tux Week: Texture Plus
I know it's Monday but Tux Week is still going. Throwback to the little fishing island of Ischia, off the coast of Italy, with Zeph in a super textured Eidos tux jacket. 7 different colors in this cloth. Love it.
Love it so much I made a blazer in the same cloth after this shoot.
Tux Week: Don Drapey
Completely unstructured, hidden closure double breasted dinner jacket made from an off white basket weave wool, with trousers in a midnight wool grosgrain. Have you ever seen something so drapey, light & unstructured yet so beautifully fitted? P Johnson pushing it for the Woolmark Prize.
Tux Week: The Take-Your-Tux-to-Work Special
Tux Week: Casablanca Lapels
This decomposing abandoned hotel on the island of Ischia never look so composed.
Tux Week: Breakfast Tux
Alex Lundqvist wasn't difficult to shoot in a tux, let's be honest.
Special thanks to Estela for the beautiful location. Produced and styled by Marcus Malmborg.
Tux Week: Dracula in Rome
(It's just what I've always called this one)...
From the Eidos archive, spring summer '13. Blackwatch tuxedo jacket over jeans and a light trench.
Tux Week: Barefoot Black Tie
Ok, it's not a tux. It's actually a very textured slightly off-white Oscar Jacobson double breasted jacket, cleverly reimagined by Marcus into a hypothetical formalwear situation. Barefoot and all.
Maximiliano Patane photographed in Naples, Italy, on a construction site of a new mansion going up... moments before we were kicked off. Wrong address?
Tux Week: Fence Hopper
Most definitely one of my most memorable shoot moments EVER. The effortlessness that Zeph displayed as he ascended the rocky remains of the Baths of Caracalla (once the second largest bath house in Rome, built 212AD) in a fresh pair of Belgian Loafers was awe-inspiring to say the least.
A moderately epic setting for the first ever Eidos tux to be shot.
Tux Week: Arancia in Positano
Trust Marcus to style a luxey orange top coat over a midnight navy tux.

Tux Week
Curation is a big part of my job, so here on the blog without a specific client it's a nice exercise to curate sideways across multiple jobs. Henceforth this coming week will be Tux Week. Until I started sifting the archives I didn't realize how many great tux concepts I'd shot in the last few years, not even counting the real weddings.
