Neckties.com Launches Artist's Series Neckties Articles / Marketing Posted by Anonymous on Jun 17, 2008 - 06:31 PM (Orange County, Calif.) Neckties.com is debuting a limited collection of gorgeous silk neckties featuring the art and designs of contemporary Orange County artists. Costa Mesa, CA artist Leigh White is the first artist to be featured in this limited addition series. This new, innovative artist’s series is the brain child of Shawn Marie Turi, Neckties.com’s Director of Corporate Sales. “Although we carry lots of traditional art ties, there’s so much creativity and such a proliferation of contemporary artists in Southern California doing such great work that it just made sense to embrace a way to get their art out there in an unusual and clever way such as neckties. Our precise production methods and use of 100% silk makes these ties very high-end and almost museum pieces onto themselves. This collection was designed for the chic and the culturally aware. For snappy dressers who understand style, texture, and above all else – art.” says Turi. Featured in the very first edition of the Neckties.com art series is au courant painter and Costa Mesa, CA artist Leigh White. She is an award-winning copywriter, graphic designer and illustrator. An ardent lover of pop-art, cubism, and the found items of her world, Leigh White has created a bustling collection awash in bright vibrant colors, offbeat humor, and eye-catching juxtaposition. “Not everyone goes to museums or art galleries to see art. By making silk ties with artists’ paintings on them, it is a very cool and modern way to infuse the world with great colors, truly original designs and style. It brings art to the people in a fun and functional way. The art collection ties definitely evoke dialogue and encourage conversation– which is so important in the hustle and bustle and stress of 21st century life.” notes artist Leigh White. To add value, each tie in the limited addition collection is hand numbered (1 to 100) and packaged in a beautiful couture wooden box bearing the artist’s logo, an artist card, hand signed by Leigh White along with a detailed biography is included in ever package. Pre-orders for the Leigh White collection of art ties are now being taken at Neckties.com. The collection ships out to customers December 1, 2007.
