Corporate Raiders Weather And Silk Ties


The world is plundered by corporate raiders, there is piracy on the high seas, ravaging floods in Cambria, raging fires in Australia, un-seasonal snow storms, and they’ve dammed the Yangtze River. But we still design and produce beautiful silk ties, inspired by the brilliant hues of nature, reflecting all the colours of a rainbow, so forget about the woes of the world for a while.

The Natural Order Of Fashion Design


The natural order of the universe, the governing laws of physics as discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, action and reaction, rise and fall of the mineral earth, planets and stars, the glaziel movements, the crashing tides, crumbling mountains, the natural formation of grids, circles on the earths surface, the volcanic mixture of colour, the changing seasons. Shane’s thematic styles capture nature at its best and worst in every silk tie, but never the same.

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.
