A colourful silk tie that reflects the brilliant hues of autumn by Louis Feraud, using tightly clad floral shapes that fill the tie completely, there is no background, semblance of an autumn day. Following in the footsteps of Jean Patou, a Paris fashion designer who invented the designer tie in 1920 Feraud sought to introduce a touch of femininity to men’s accessories, for after all women buy 3 out of 4 ties. But Feraud was more than a fashion designer; he was an artist and entrepreneur and sought the success of his brand name as much as he did his paintings. Now for an ideal pair of cufflinks to match, easy enough, a floral rendition using Mother of Pearl by Simon Carter.
Everything that can be said about designer silk ties has been said, everyone proclaims that their ties are made from the finest silks in the world, they’re handmade to exacting specifications and so on, it all starts to sound a bit staid. Louis Feraud designer silk ties are simply conservative, cleverly arranged stripes using colours that are easy to coordinate, reminiscent of the old school tie, simplicity at its best. They’re made from the same kind silks that hundreds of other brands use and they’re made in Italy at the same factory that hundreds of other brand names use. At least you know what you’re getting, a reasonable tie for a reasonable price with a very good name attached.
The Louis Feraud Brand has yet to make an impact with its men’s accessory range. The ties are adventurous enough, but in short bursts, the rest of the collection have little to say. Although lack lustre the name is on the move and the look gets stronger each season, if you compare with brands like Armani you’ll be disappointed. Stand alone, Feraud ties are made in Italy to exacting specifications and price wise, a good entry point. The opinion, any Feraud product is worth having in a collection. A bit of floral, some paisley and add a few stripes, a safe recipe to begin with.
As from the day that Louis Fraud opened the door of his boutiques in Cannes 1950 and Paris 1954, he was unanimously recognized as a master of his art. This artist stands out clearly in 1955 when he presents his first Couture collection which is characterised by vibrant colours, typical of his Mediterranean background and inspired by his love of Spanish and Latin American cultures. After a magnificent career, he dies in 1999 at 79 years of age. It is thanks to the strength of his example that he continues, through his creations. Later Feraud would venture into men's suiting, casual wear and a range of accessories and classic silk ties, all uniquely Feraud in style and colour. Now we can enjoy the vibrancy of his art, which have been transformed into fashion items, like silk ties, sport jackets and suiting.
