Klimt Blue Silk Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES

The work of Gustav Klimt is a strong favourite in the Fox & Chave silk tie collection. This tie features the blue variation of one of our most popular patterns derived from a section of the painting Hope II (1907-08) by the artist.

The painting portrays a pregnant woman floating amidst a dark golden sea, her robes composed of the swirling patterns and geometric shapes typical of Klimt's style. The figure exudes a sense of serenity and contemplation, and with the other figures and a skull that are depicted, symbolises the promise of new life and the eternal cycle of creation. This use of rich colours, ornamentation and symbolism by Klimt expertly invites introspection in the viewer.

COLOURS

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.
