Identifying ties based on design

[danz24]

I just wonder how many of you here are confident enough to say that you are able to identify the tie maker solely based on design, and what are your telltale signs.

For example, I noticed ferragamo ties little repeating animals, while hermes have different displays of links/chains.

Not at all - repeating animals and links/chains are used by lots of tiemakers.

I can generally tell a Liberty print, but not with 100% confidence.

Gucci is usually pretty easy - a lot of G patterns and horseshoes..

Hermes are usually easiest for me - last week at a mad men party I spotted one by the links and the type of silk - I was at first impressed with myself and then severely guilty as it made me look like a complete clothes nerd, which I am of course.

Versace of the baroque-inspired vintage is often straightforward to identify!

As for others, there are certain other motifs that are often associated with a particular brand - I'm thinking about some of Hermes' prints (though VV and Ferragamo are often inspired by them too ) and Liberty's designs and other clear brand identifiers like the Gucci Gs.

Of course any of these can be copied by other brands or be "inspiration" for others. So it's not foolproof. But you'll be right more often than you're wrong.

I can't tell most but, Charvet ties I can.

You dont need to touch, sniff, taste, look for a logo, turned upside down for a label, to know an Eric Glennie necktie. Place 1000 necktie designers on the wall and you can tell an Eric Glennie necktie from any other designer in the world by DESIGN. Thats the power of Eric Glennie fashion design. Eric Glennie is Mnemonic.

Duchamp ties are pretty easy to identify.

Ed Hardy is usually pretty easy to identify.

 

[PandArts]

Christian Lacroix is pretty easy to identify as well...much along the same lines as Versace.

Disney ties. And those dreadful Robert Talbott 7 folds.

Jerry Garcia ties.

And the ones I got my dad when I was a kid that were designed by kids for some save the kids charity.

They looked like kids drew them.
