Tie Talk

A witty, illustrated ode to Stephen Fry’s decades-long obsession with a man’s most trusted accessory: the tie By the time he was fifteen, Stephen Fry owned more than forty ties. Inherited initially from a grandfather, matters turned more serious when he could afford to buy them brand spanking new. Stephen’s collection now numbers well into the hundreds. And each tie — whether floral, fluorescent, football themed; striped or spotty, outrageous or simply debonair — tells a story. A tale of the garment itself — the shops, makers and designers — as well as of Stephen, his reasons for choosing it, whether an occasion or just a whim. Inspired by Stephen’s hugely popular Instagram posts, this book will feature beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations and photographs to celebrate his expansive collection of man’s greatest asset: the Tie, in all its sophisticated glory.
