Fry's Ties

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. 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 features beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations and photographs to celebrate his expansive collection of man's greatest asset—the tie, in all its sophisticated glory.
