luxury silk tie


Typically designers draw heavily from historic archives to give their design concepts substance. This becomes the inspiration for style progression and then captured in contemporary frameworks. In an endeavor to create something that challenges generics various concepts are reflected in this collection of designer silk ties; Art deco, French Textile Designers, and, Paris Fashion designer Jean Patou have been major influences. The classically formed school/sporting tie stripes and college colours are also subtly introduced; even the vivid floral patterns have been arranged in diagonal lines reflecting the school tie concept. It is easy to trace the progress of silk ties through the ages; a timeless method of male adornment. A history very accurately documented and thanks to the advent of internet is at your fingertips. The entire story lends substance to these finely crafted accessories, and, is told every time the knot is tied four in hand or full Windsor. The concepts, the history, the colours, the thought and great attention to detail, the selection of age old weavers and makers, the technical specifications and inspirational origins conclude all the essential elements of a luxury silk tie.
