EMBRASSE
As the Primitivo, it is useful if the tie is not long enough or if the ends are not wide enough. The overall result, however, is more regular and less lively. Wikio Wikio
RENAISSANCE. THE NEW GENERATIONS.
The time has come to talk about a resurgence of the tie: after the iconoclastic storm of the protests years, post-modern Italy feels more at ease talking about its elegant past, or tuning into the suggestions of the technological civilization. Free from formal restrictions and ideological prohibitions, the tie is born again as an art [...]
TELEMATICS
The human terminal. In an era of IT, telecommunications and artificial intelligence, it is important to remember that humans remain the ultimate terminal. Telematics’ future developments and evolutions will be modelled on humans and their visions. Thus, it will be possible for machines to understand the importance of the tie as a symbol of its [...]
ROBOT. THE SUPERHUMAN.
The illusions of bioengineering and robotics appear to be leading to the materialization of the old superhuman myth. In reality, each and every man has always been a superhuman: being able to project beyond his nature into the dimensions of language, arts and fashion. A garment, with its unpredictable inventions and evolutions constantly surpasses the [...]
VERDI. LONG LIVE ITALY!
Long live V.E.R.D.I.! -Vittorio Emanuele Re ( king ) D’Italia ( of Italy ). This motto by the patriots of the Italian unification – risurgence – sounds certainly rather tired nowadays. When it comes to the tie though a certain amount of patriotism would be easily justified: 2 out of 3 ties in the world [...]
YALTA. IMPORTANT MEETINGS.
Sometimes the tie happens to become a livery, a uniform, a flag even. An important statement, appropriate for important meetings. Amongst the better known the presidential ties spring to mind: the summit ties, diplomatic flagships. Only when meeting “Madame guillotine” sovereigns would lose their ties: only a blip, an exception that confirms the rule of [...]
PICASSO. THE TRANSGRESSION
The tie and avant-garde art have in common creativity and their constant metamorphosis. Paradoxically, if a rule were to be identified here, in both case it would be transgression. Everything is possible and allowed in art and fashion. The original and new, if at first apparently difficult to process, don’t take very long to impose [...]
FREUD. TOTEM AND TABOO TIE
In the modern tribes, access to the grown-up and wise old men’s clan (politicians, managers, professional people) strictly requires the presence of the tie, to the extent that during the years of the youth protest, a rejection of the tie somewhat represented the hostility towards power and the older generation. The tie totem was seen [...]
MATISSE. THE COLOUR
Artistic research in 1900 opens with “Fauvism”, an explosive current emphasizing painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism, of which Matisse became a leader. It was only the beginning of the rejection by the artists of the contemporary society’s greyness and which led to the chromatic paradoxes of [...]
