Klimt Blue Virgin Silk Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A Fox & Chave silk tie featuring an element from the oil painting Die Jungfrau or The Maiden (1913) by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.

The painting depicts seven female figures as seen from a birds eye view. The figures are intertwined in an oval form that flows with various floral patterns. The figure of the central young woman is adorned with a flowing gown or dress in a prominent pattern of blues, purples, oranges and blacks. The figure to the left of the image is emaciated with the face obscured, and may be indicative of absence separation, or even death.

The painting's decorative style and use of gold leaf are characteristic of Klimt's art and the Art Nouveau movement.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave silk tie looks best tied in a classic Windsor or half-Windsor knot and worn with a collar style of your choosing.  Cutaway or spread collars offer the greatest opportunity to display the detail of your unique silk tie design.
