Back of the Blade Embroidery Project.
Hidden Rebel
This is for you.
You know it is there.
Mostly hidden
Occasionally shows.
A hidden seascape.
A miniature work
Created by hand
Rebels and conforms.
'Back of the Blade' is a collaborative project between neckwear designer Niki Fulton and knitwear designer Flora Collingwood-Norris.
Behind the blade of Prufrock linen tie lies a hand stitched abstract artwork created by Flora Collingwood-Norris. She has extended the back story of Niki's ‘Prufrock' design, a pattern inspired by T.S.Eliot's poem, The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock and created a unique seascape embroidery.
"Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black"
Inspirational lines from The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock by T.S.Eliot, 1915.
Flora Collingwood-Norris has created pieces for Christopher Kane, Jasper Conran, William Chambers and House of Holland and now creates for her own label, Collingwood-Norris, from her studio in the Scottish Borders.
This is the ultimate summer tie or a tie for a wedding. The blue of the sea with white crests with the slightly rough texture of linen to wear with a crushed linen summer suit.
8 cm (3.15 inch) blade, standard 148 cm (58 inch) length. Self tipped with hand embroidered abstract seascape on the reverse of the blade.
Designed, printed & hand stitched in Great Britain.
Bespoke embroidery on the reverse of the blade is available on request throughout the Niki Fulton tie collection.
There is more information about this project on the blog post.
