Keeping Up with Hana

Hana Pesut
I'm sure most of my readers know Hana Pesut, the Canadian photographer who is growing more and more famous for a simple, yet very original idea: taking shooting a couple as the switch garments.
She calls her project, appropriately enough, "switcheroo".
The results are fascinating, to say the least. In fact, I've posted several of her pics in this blog.
Below: one of her latest "swticheroos", shot in Tokyo last August.
Besides, Hana's work has been featured in mains stream magazines, such as Elle Canada,
she published a book, which you can order on-line, and she has several prints of her pictures for sale.

Hana: Recent Switches
Hana Pesut
Switcheroo is the term coined by this gifted Canadian photographer for this fascinating experiment: she takes pictures of couples interchanging their outfits.The results are fascinating: more often that not, the male partner looks much better in his spouse's clothing!
At times, the female half, no matter how pretty she may be, looks awful in her mate's apparel (below), proving, as if further proof were needed, just how unflattering male clothing may be.
And at a very few times, there are almost no results: the couple looks quite alike before and after the switch: the couple wore similar, gender-free clothes to start with. (That'll probably be our case if my wife and I were shot by Miss Pesut!) Those are New Males, I guess:

Switcheroo
Switcheroo
Photography by Hana Pesut
This Canadian photographer's project features some of the most fascinating images I've ever stumbled upon.
In her undertaking, she doesn't only question our society's silly dress conventions, but to a certain degree she also challenges traditional gender roles.
I like the fact she doesn't use models, but just plain, regular people dressed in a regular way, and then, voilà !, the switcheroo works its magic:
1. She wears his clothes:
Nothing special about that. Females nowadays often dress in a quite masculine way.
But it does bring me to the conclusion that the ladies, no matter how beautiful, look just as dull as the gents in those grey, boring clothes.
2. He wears her clothes:
Now we're talking.
It turns out that some guys actually do look good wearing their spouses clothing!
Admittedly not all of them.
After all, the apparel's not their size, and the style not necessarily befits their particular body-shape.
On the other hand, many actually look better in what we arbitrarily call "female" garments than in their own clothes...
Anyways. It makes you wonder:
Wouldn't it be a good idea to perk up our wardrobes with at least a few dresses, some skirts, or at any rate some more colorful stuff?
Shouldn't we switch clothings with our partners more often?
