The ‘Metropolitan’ guide to tuxedos

The website for Ralph Lauren’s Rugby brand has a page listing five rules for how to make the most of a tuxedo, inspired by Stillman’s Metropolitan and illustrated with stills of Christopher Eigeman looking dapper.

Luxist has a post discussing the rules, including some comments from Stillman:

“When we were preparing Metropolitan there was a great two page Ralph Lauren ad running in magazines that we clipped and showed around to illustrate the style the film would aspire to.” So, in a way, Stillman notes, “Ralph Lauren influenced the film before it might have inspired Rugby.”
