Fry's Ties by Stephen Fry

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.
