The Paisley print has its origins in Persia and Kashmir, known for their rich textile traditions. It features a stylised floral motif known as the boteh that represents the abundance of nature. The shawls and scarves that featured this woven pattern became insanely popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
With the advent of the industrial textile revolution the design was "borrowed" and brought to the United Kingdom and manufactured in Paisley, Scotland. Local weavers and manufacturers replicated the designs and, using the new technologies available to them, added colour and detail, giving rise to its association with the town.
In the 1960s, the Paisley print took on a new significance as it became a symbol of the counterculture and the sexual revolution. Embraced by musicians and fashion icons, it represented rebellion and gender fluidity.
In our latest collection, we've introduced a unique twist. By incorporating classical nude sculptures into the Paisley pattern, we aim to challenge the traditional boundaries that separate mankind from nature.
Placing the human figure within the traditional motifs represents the fundamental connection between humanity and the natural world. We are, after all, and for better or for worse, part of intricate tapestry of nature.
Introducing our exquisite collection of luxury silk ties, scarves and shirts, featuring the timeless Paisley print with a twist. The pattern symbolises the abundance of nature. We have added a unique touch by incorporating classical nude sculptures, challenging the separation between mankind and the natural world. Our meticulously crafted and beautifully coloured pieces make a bold and elegant statement and will be quite the conversation starter.
There is a massive leap from the deep and dark alpine greens, olives and browns of the background to the occasional pops of bright orangey coral. It gives those highlights an almost fluorescent intensity. The cool colour of the coral and forest green is tempered with a warmer olive tone.
