There are those who have haven risen to prominence, others emerging and those who have fallen from grace.

A Designer Silk Tie in Fragrant Blossom

The Spitalfield flower pattern can be traced back to Huguenot weavers of the1800s. Today recognised as the trademark of the Timothy Everest brand. Hes given the flower new life. Its essence captured tastefully in a new range of lovely, colourful silk ties that reflect the brilliant hues of nature. Be ware of imitations, this pattern is exclusive to Timothy Everest, its his signature. Turn the tie over and youll witness the finite detail that only a tailor could conceive. The Spitalfields flower in fragrant blossom all seasons. It doesnt end there, the entire collection blooms into autumn, prevail the winter gloom. And for spring its even brighter, classic style in a contemporary framework, each tie, an example of fine English needle work

The 60s Designer Silk Tie.

Shane McCoubrey started his own label after working all over the world designing for, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Gucci. Happy to go it alone and develop his distinctive style hes gradually gaining recognition. Drawing inspiration from the 60s Lava Lamps, Shane produced some vivid renditions for his introductory range of Designer Silk Ties; youll have to search long and hard to find ties that reflect such artistic prowess with true individuality. Shane has a small dedicated following.

Feraud Designer Silk Ties: Impact-less

The Louis Feraud Brand has yet to make an impact with its mens accessory range. The designer silk ties are adventurous enough, but in short bursts, the rest of the collection have little to say. Although lack lustre the name is on the move and the look gets stronger each season, if you compare with brands like Armani youll be disappointed. Stand alone; Feraud designer silk ties are made in Italy to exacting specifications and price wise, a good entry point. The opinion, any Feraud product is worth having in a collection. A bit of floral, some paisley and add a few stripes, a safe recipe to begin with.

The Elusive Designer Silk Tie

Neil Bottles customers include Hillary Clinton and Cherrie Blare; his textiles designs have hung in some of the most famous galleries and museums in the world, including Guggenheim New York and The V & A London . His designer silk ties and scarves were on the (A) list of buyers from Libertys of London to Harrods. Out of the limelight, he still produces in small quantities, no longer available in high street stores, never the less, collectables, even more reasons to add one to your collection

More than a cufflink designer

Veering off the conventional path, without loosing control, Ian Flaherty has produced a small range of designer silk ties worthy of the highest praise. Theyll give many give many years good knottage, while complimenting his illustrious cufflinks. Added value, theyre completely woven and handmade in England . To be seen to be different, the choice is yours.

A Womans Designer Silk Tie

Although women have probably always adorned their necks, they did not wear neckties until the later 1800s. Feminine versions of men's Designer Silk Ties began to appear along with the more tailored clothing women wore while bicycling, skating, hiking, or boating. Now there are many women designers whove made a significant mark amongst the men, like Cressida Bell Designer Ties A touch of femininity, the scent of a woman

The Vivienne Westwood contribution

Free form, a little abstract, totally unpredictable and always an element of surprise, best describes Viviennes designer silk ties creations. Drawing a little out of each era of her career, from punk to pirate, she has pasted a hint of each, blending with classical form and even a little graffiti. There is no mistaking; no collection is whole without a Vivienne Westwood Designer Tie.
