Synopsis

In the tradition of Unzipped starring Isaac Mizrahi and the Yves Saint Laurent: Jack Taylor of Beverly Hills is a nostalgic and intimate film about an American fashion icon. For more than sixty years, Jack Taylor has dressed Hollywood royalty, including Cary Grant, Dean Martin, Sid Caesar, Frank Sinatra and even Elvis Presley. Through candid interview footage and evocative vintage video and stills, this portrait captures the colorful life of Jack Taylor, who in his nineties still works every day with as much precision, wit and panache as ever. Jack Taylor of Beverly Hills is more than the story of a fashion pioneer; it's a bittersweet portrayal of old Hollywood, detailing the demise of not only custom tailoring, but of an era.
