'The Tux Remix' in Elle UK is a whimsical and elegant play on popular black tie attire. The only color in the editorial can be seen on model Ekaterina Kiseleva's lips as a stiff, starched white and aristocratic onyx are the only fashionable shades.
The revamped formal attire appears in the British magazine's December 2009 issue. Kiseleva poses with ruby lips and teased tresses for photographer Lee Broomfield in 'The Tux Remix.'
Implications - These images are a great inspiration for urban business women; the outfits and makeup portrayed are the perfect professional, yet posh look for formal meetings and events.
