Girls in ties: How to man up
Girls in ties. The androgynous look has always intrigued the Rage because it's cool, unexpected and feels a bit like a 1980s Van Halen video meets Marlene Dietrich's dressing room. Yesterday was "Tie Tuesday" at our Image section and as you can see, I went with the straight on, cross-dressing style by pairing a silk, striped tie with a white Brooks Brothers oxford and many seasons old Piazza Sempione capri pants. My colleague, Ronit Nabi on the left of me, opted for a more Patti Smith -- as dressed by Karl Lagerfeld -- vibe with a skinny black tie, black blazer and strands of gold, pearl and ribbon necklaces. Emili Vesilind -- to the right of me -- went Katharine Hepburn-channels-Charlie Chaplin in a flounder-width tie knotted inches below her collar, cardigan and wide-leg jeans. It was fun to make a pact on Monday to man up and see how each of us
interpreted the look. (FYI: getting your colleagues to try a trend collectively is highly recommended.)
Over at Ralph Lauren's Rugby.com site -- it reminds me of a CW version of "Dead Poet's Society" -- there's a great video tutorial on how to knot a tie and finagle a bow tie.
Next week? "Mohawk Monday" at Image. Who's in?

Wow! You look absolutely stunning with the white shirt and tie on. No disprespect to the other two girls, but you look so much more stylish and sexy with the tie and the collar done properly...

You look like a dream with your shirt and tie done up.
Girls like you should do this more often.
Kindest regards

This picture is amazing.
I met the girl on the very far left (Ronit?) once at Moonshadows Malibu and she looks as beautiful now as she did 3 years ago. Ladies, this is an amazing pic.
