Anatomy Of A Tie by Title of Work Exhibit


Fashion is art. Whether it’s a couture gown that took months of sewing or finding the smallest possible beads to be sewn onto a tie, it’s art. Last night, we had the pleasure of getting a peak at the “Anatomy of a Tie” exhibit put on by title of work. Jonathan Meizler, the once gown maker turned tie aficionado put on quite a show for us to look at.

We were blown away by the detail put into each creation. These ties all have a story, one that is worth reading. Inspiration gained from tattoos to snakes make these ties worth a gander. The exhibition showcases the amount of work that goes into making one of these ties in a series of instillations that include sculpture, video and title of work pieces. Anatomy of a Tie is broken into the four sections, putting the spotlight on Meizler’s inspiration. There’s also a tie made out of snake vertebrae, so there’s that.
The exhibit will be open till December 21st at hpgrp Gallery in New York City. If you have a chance, go check it out. Whether you’re there for the art or to buy a $35,000 tie with black diamonds, wax, cashmere and glass — you need to go. Learn more about the exhibit here.
