The wisteria is one of the first flowers to come to mind when Spring is
mentioned. In terms of tie designs it was in the very first series that I
designed, primarily because it was a flower that I turned to time and
time again in my silk painting. The fluid lines of the flower racemes
work beautifully on a tie. The Wisteria design is also one where the
motif is designed to sit at the head of the blade and at the knot so
that when worn with the jacket done up there is only the subtle hint of
detail visible. When the jacket is open the full beauty of the woven
silk wisteria design is revealed. The white wisteria silk tie is very
popular as a wedding tie whereas the red, navy or black versions are
equally suited to business or social occasions.
