Alexander Olch Designs for Colette

American movie director and fashion designer Alexander Olch has been dressing Harvard alum and various high-class nightclub goers for years and now he's created a collection of men's accessories for Colette including neckties, bow ties, and handkerchiefs all in a very spunky and brand-friendly pattern of blue-on-white or white-on-blue. The line is made of 100% printed English cotton and comes with fun (although seemingly de-masculating) names like The Little Guy Pocket Round and (shown here) The Little Guy Necktie. The line will be available at Colette through January 29th. €60 - €185

Vittorio J Select Series Limited Edition Ties

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style

Vittorio J's newest 'Select Series' tie collection is a true story of turning lemons into lemonade: the set only exists because of a factory error. The ties are three-fold silk but were accidentally labeled as seven-fold, a mistake that caused production to halt after only 85 ties had been produced.

The new series features the usual Vittorio J trademarks such as saddle stitching, old world Italian craftsmanship, and a high-quality NAPOLI + TELA lining, plus it has updated patterns and a slimmer profile of only 3.5". But what really makes this line special is that of the 85 pieces in existence 90% of them are one-of-a-kind items and no pattern is repeated more than twice. Interested? 35 of the special ties have already been purchased by a private collector but the remaining 50 are available while supplies last via Mary Theresa Sciandra, owner of Regal Threads. $125 - $175.

Hugh Simms is an L.A. based designer with degrees from Cornell and Fashion School F.I.D.M., where he first developed what he describes as his "Ivy League Grit" style. Passionate about supporting the American way and the Los Angeles manufacturing revival, all of his Handmade Patchwork Neckties are made in a small workshop in the heart of L.A. and each pattern, full of details, has significance and meaning. In the photo above Simms is wearing "Lost Library," which takes its inspiration from dusty broken-spined books filled with a paradox of both intelligence and toughness.

See after the jump for a Luxist Q&A with Simms and then see more of his designs, and the meanings behind them, at hughsimms.com and in the gallery below.

Stefano Ricci Crystal Tie

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Crystals are frequently added as accents on women's clothes and handbags, especially during the winter when dark colors need a bit of flash to dress them up. Designer Stefano Ricci decided to apply the same principle to some of his ties. He added swirls of tiny Swarovski crystals to this Italian Silk Formal Tie. It certainly will get some attention and won't fit in everywhere you might want to wear a tie, but it's the perfect choice if you want to get noticed. Price: $1,105.
