You just never know where designers and designing firms pull their inspiration from when they plan their next necktie collection. I was floored when I first laid eyes on this tie because it took me back, way back, to when as a child I enjoyed hours of fun with my Spirograph set. In fact, I [...]
Vicky Davis is a modern designer of fun novelty ties. You can find her neckwear in online retail stores today. My favorites, however, are her neckties from the 1990’s. One day the designer had the “bright idea” to incorporate non-detachable tie tacks made of plastic or metal in order to give the subject matter a [...]
While the colors of neckwear in the 1950’s toned down drastically in comparison to the bright ties typical in the 40’s, manufacturers felt it fit to experiment in other ways. This red necktie features but two of the clever ways in which neckties were embellished.
The blue coo coo clock and “V” shape are machine stitched [...]
Necktie designers in the 40’s were not afraid to combine patterns into marvelous works of art. Sometimes patterns were layered one atop another. Other times they were contained within boundaries, such as with this necktie.
One of my rules of thumb for an outstanding design is one where you notice something you didn’t before every time [...]
There’s nothing like classic ties which never go out of style. Take 80’s era neckwear. In the 1980’s many designers incorporated their logo by the tip of their necktie collections. Yves Saint Laurent was no exception.
This brown striped tie is the epitome of classic style. The YSL logo is tastefully rendered, with the initials [...]
I started out as a crafter, breaking down men’s ties for fabric to make necktie pillows and sachets. It is very appealing to take a functional accessory and convert it into another useful item. Such is the case with this patchwork tie.
Several vintage kimonos, all in blue tones, were assembled to create this stunning patchwork [...]
Gianni Versace designer ties are absolutely amazing in their artistic execution! Some sport small patterns and others offer a sweeping spectrum of color, certain to appeal to a broad fan base. Some neckties include the Medusa motif while others don’t.
I love this tie because while the Medusa themed polka dots are larger than I [...]
I have mixed feelings about Walmart. On the one hand, I get the best deal around for my 25 pound bags of clay cat litter as well as other food and sundry items such as light Cran-Rasberry Juice and my favorite Italian dressing.
On the other hand, I hate the long lines. I was also unhappy [...]
There’s one inmate on this fun tie who looks just like Bernie Madoff! And many of the heads in the banking industry!
Seriously, all the recent shenanigans are no laughing matter. This tie features various professionals guilty of white collar and blue collar crimes, including your attorney, your accountant, your congressman, your stockbroker, your banker, your [...]
Paisleys look like curved teardrops and are one of the most recognizable shapes throughout the world. When it comes to men’s neckties, they are incorporated in a variety of ways. Sometimes they are haphazardly spread over a tie while other times they stand at attention row after row military style. They add an organic touch [...]
