Etsy's Coverage of the Williamsburg Fashion Weekend


Next up was Sovereign Beck, the eponymous necktie line by designers Ryan Sovereign and William Beck. Ties are pretty hard to show off on the runway, but Sovereign and Beck had an ingenious concept: to start the show, a model walked out onto the stage wearing all white picked up a guitar and started playing a droning chord. He was followed by another, then another, and another until there was a line of models strumming the same chord, looking like a very well dressed noise band in their natty white suits and ties. Inspired by classic designers Emilio Pucci, Oleg Cassini and André Courrèges, Sovereign and Beck have managed to create a line of ties that would appeal equally to the artist and the accountant.
