Mona Lisa Thread Portrait

Lebanon-based custom tailors Ejjeh & Sons recently renovated their shop and decided to promote the changes with a modern art installation. The company commissioned advertising agency République Beirut and the team produced this depiction of the Mona Lisa created out of 2,156 spools of thread in 63 colors. With the pixelated custom-design, the shop hopes to appeal to a broader audience and to draw in a new generation of customers.

The interpretation of the classic portrait took ten designers working for three months to plan it out. One by one and row by row, the various shades of thread were placed onto a pegboard, which took about nine hours to complete. The installation is prominently displayed through the glass of the storefront where passers-by can check out the intricate image and, ideally, be intrigued to find out more about the clothing inside.

While formal attire for black tie events or dinner parties can often be stuffy or boring, these chic formal menswear looks are offering gentlemen the opportunity to dress both elegantly and modern to any event. 

Wearing a full suit or pairing a chic blazer with some classy dress pants can easily turn your casual look into a stylish nighttime ensemble, and while some men may be apprehensive about wearing these formal pieces of attire, these pieces of clothing will definitely add that sophisticated and classy edge that fashionistas are looking for. From modern menswear suits with a little bit of a rocker edge to geek-chic blazers that combine class and personality, these formal menswear looks will certainly have any man ready to step out in style.
