It’s Nice That featured ‘Black Tie’ Photographed by Emily Stein, Styled by Janine Eveson and Art Directed by myself for Getty Images. Black Tie is aimed to be a delightful portrayal of one of the most memorable moments of adolescence ‑ when teenagers go through the rite of passage in dressing up like adults for coming of age ceremonies.

This moment of transformation from casual teen dress to black tie transcends cultural, socioeconomic and social barriers. In some societies it is linked with the onset of sexual maturity; with others it is associated with religious responsibility, and in western cultures it is more often than not connected to legal conventions developing more freedoms as adulthood approaches.
