The necktie, once a symbol of boardrooms and uniforms, has made a triumphant return as one of fashion's coolest accessories and fashion staples.
Designers on recent runways reimagined neckwear as art rather than utility—playing with soft, fluid fabrics and crisp cottons shaped into sculptural forms. The traditional tie, once bound by its knot, broke free - left open to drape with ease, crossed and pinned with brooches, or reimagined entirely.
Beyond the runway, brands are blurring the lines of tradition. Alyssa Reuven of Reuven Designs crafts neckwear for both men and women—ranging from skinny scarves tied into blousy bows to upcycled, unisex embellished neckties. Each piece is an intricate tapestry of hand embroidery, delicately hand-placed sequins, beads, appliques, bows, trims, and 3-D floral appliqués. These ties aren't just accessories—they're conversation starters, wearable vignettes of labor, creativity, and intent. Every bead, every stitch is applied by hand—hours of quiet devotion embedded into the very fabric. There’s something radical in that: slowing down fashion to the pace of care and consideration. The approach captures the essence of the necktie trend: a merging of power, play, and sustainability. With every piece, Reuven proves that the tie is more than an accessory—it’s a vehicle for self-expression with no boundaries.
So whether you’re a vintage maximalist, a slow-fashion devotee, or someone just looking to add a spark of joyful rebellion to your wardrobe—Reuven's neckties might be your next obsession. Upcycled, unapologetic, and entirely unforgettable.
