Designer Davidson Petit-Frère, widely known and celebrated for getting our favorite men in Hollywood ready for the big screen and most exclusive red carpets, stepped in to style Kevin Hart for his big day.
Meet The Designer Behind Kevin Hart’s Wedding Tuxedo

Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish had the wedding heard across social media this weekend and in true comedic rockstar fashion, Kevin Hart went to the best for his look.

Designer and tailor extraordinaire Davidson Petit-Frère is known for his impeccably clean and sharp menswear and was on hand to help Kevin celebrate his union with Eniko Parrish in true style.

Petit-Frère created a classic black and white shawl-collared tuxedo with special hand-stitched nicknames embroidered on the inside for him and his son Hendrix, who served as the best man for the occasion.

U can't teach COOL…U either have it or u don't…..My son AKA my best man has it!!!!! Last night was MAGICAL. #Harts #MeAndMyBestFriend thank u I have you @davidson_frere and @Musikafrere …..The Tuxedos were amazing

When it came to his look for the day, Petit-Frère says Hart knew exactly what he wanted.

“Kevin is very involved,” said Petit-Frère. “He knows what he likes and my job is to bring that vision together. Kevin is really big on fit and loves his clothing tailored. He’s been working out a lot lately so the goal is always to get the perfect fit. It’s a collaborative effort with the help of Ashley North, Kevin’s long time stylist.”

Having met two years ago during a fitting for Ride Along 2, Kevin and Davidson have paired up for some of Kevin’s best red carpet looks.

Petit-Frère says that working with Hart is just as lively of an experience as you would imagine. “Kevin is a pleasure to work with, he keeps the energy flowing at all times with his personality.”

Kevin and his son Hendrix were definitely dapper for the big day, so Petit-Frère was clearly the right man for the job.
