About This Book

Discover the story of a gentleman's most distinguished accessory, the necktie, with the inimitable Stephen Fry as your guide. In this utterly charming volume, Stephen Fry excavates his epic collection of neckties and shares the stories behind them. From the traditional "egg and bacon" colors of the Marylebone Cricket Club to the exuberant Dalmatian pattern of a 1980s Nicole Miller design, each tie tells a story. Interspersed amongst the collection are diagrams to aid in tying your own Half Windsor, Van Wijk, or Prince Albert Knot. The book expands on Fry's popular Instagram series, with additional, all-new content—including an essay about Fry's own necktie journey and a collection of snappy photos and illustrations of the ties themselves. This handsome little hardcover is more than an homage to a fashion accessory: it's an informative and witty tour of history, culture, art, and design.BELOVED AUTHOR: Stephen Fry is an icon in many domains, including humor, storytelling, and style. He is the ideal guide to the world of neckties, as knowledgeable as he is entertaining. PERFECT CONTENT FOR THE STEPHEN FRY FAN: For Fry's fans (especially those who first encountered him as the cool, collected, and always impeccably dressed butler Jeeves), this book isa perfect fit. DISTINCTIVE GIFT: This book will delight dads, granddads, brothers, and uncles—or anyone who likes to wear fancy neckwear with pride. BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK: Fry's excellent collection of ties is brought to life by photographer Clare Winfield and illustrator Stephanie von Reiswitz (whom readers may know and love from her popularMurder Most Puzzlingseries).Perfect for:

  • Stephen Fry fans
  • Men's fashion enthusiasts
  • Tie collectors
