to tie magazine

This magazine takes the necktie as its subject: a small accessory with a remarkable capacity to carry social codes, contradictions, and historical change.

Often dismissed as outdated, uncomfortable, or overly formal, the tie also remains an object of elegance, variation, and personal expression.

Rather than offering a universal history of the necktie, the publication brings together essays, interviews, and visual material that examine the tie from different perspectives. Questions of gender, power, work, class, diplomacy, subculture, and identity appear through specific historical and cultural moments. The tie is considered not as a relic, but as a sensitive indicator of how societies dress, signal, and negotiate identity.

Conceived as an art project in magazine form, the publication gathers different voices and materials as the result of research, curiosity, and close observation. It approaches its subject neither nostalgically nor polemically, but as an object through which broader social and cultural relations become visible.
