Patterns and styling tips
The floral motif
Floral motifs are one of the most common on our ties: if you’re looking for sobriety, opt for a micro-pattern in sober colors. And conversely, if you’re looking for a flashy pattern (to be balanced with a shirt and a suit), you’ll want to go for a floral pattern. The floral pattern is one of the most common on our ties: if you’re looking for sobriety, opt for a micro-pattern with sober colors. And vice versa if you want a flashy model (to be balanced with a more sober shirt and suit).
A tie with an easy-to-wear pattern that stands out above all for its color: it goes well here with a Prince of Wales beige suit.
About the brand
Pierre Cardin
The Pierre Cardin brand was founded in 1950 by the eponymous Italian couturier. Pierre Cardin began his career working for Christian Dior before launching his own fashion house. His brand quickly became famous for its avant-garde designs and innovations in the fashion world.
Over the years, Pierre Cardin has extended its brand into areas such as accessories, leather goods, perfumes and even furniture. He was one of the first designers to cross the traditional boundaries of fashion, exploring new creative territories.
Pierre Cardin was a pioneer in using collaborations with artists for his tie designs. In particular, he worked with Italian graphic designer Piero Fornasetti, famous for his black-and-white designs. This collaboration has given rise to ties with original and innovative motifs, such as mosaic faces, stylized hearts and geometric patterns.
Cardin was also influenced by abstract art and pop culture, which is reflected in his tie designs from the 1960s and 1970s. Ties from this period often feature bold geometric patterns, bright colors and retro-futuristic designs.
Finally, Pierre Cardin was also influenced by modern architecture and science fiction, which inspired some of his most avant-garde designs. For example, some of his ties from the 1970s feature futuristic designs with abstract shapes and metallic colors.
