A WORLD of Bow Ties
After three weeks of waiting, emails and phone tag from lots of people just to get these photos, allow me to present you these super cool bow ties from New Zealand label WORLD. I first saw them when I visited the World Deluxe store in Auckland during Air New Zealand Fashion Week a few months back.

I don’t like it whenever my random curiosities turn into unhealthy obsessions. I’ve been obsessing about bow ties for quite some time now and it sucks that you cannot get decent ones in the Philippines. Except for the very privileged few who frequently goes to black tie events, no one really wears bow ties in Manila on a day-to-day basis.
Anyhoo… I recently asked my friend Isaac who lives in Auckland to visit the World stores and do what I should’ve done two months ago — take pictures! I wish I took photos at the store but I only had 3 minutes because we were in between fashion shows when I went there.
I still remember exactly where the bow ties are.
It was love at first sight when I saw these bow ties in Auckland.
This is the bow tie I bought from them. I’m so pissed because I misplaced the damn thing! I couldn’t find it in my room and I’m wondering whether or not I left it at the hotel when I went to Singapore. I haven’t even used it yet!
Here are two bow ties I’m gonna buy when I get my paycheck. I know what you’re thinking… I KNOW YOU’RE GONNA SAY IT. This one is so Chanel, no?
They’re very chunky and cute in real life!
This is very cute.
Last but not the least, sequins!
PS. My reader Andres from Estonia emailed me about another company which makes chica bow ties. I’ll blog about it later.
i just recently started wearing bow tie – going for the preppy look. i got good compliments from both the CEO and Chairman of the Board at my work (also a bow tie fan). the black and white looks nice. how can i buy one?
I love bow ties too but I think that these ones are too heavy (read: WINTRY)looking for the Philippines, don’t you think?
Oops, I shouldn’t even ask you this. You’re one for wearing boots, high-tops and cardigan sweaters in that climate…;D
omg i need these!! how much are they?
the bow ties are NZ$99 each which is roughly about US$60.
not bad considering the alexis mabille ones are like $300!!! LOL
I love WORLD and WORLD MAN its my fave store here in nz they have the most amazing clothes for men its very different and out of this world!
I’ve been obsessed with bow ties and I’ve been wearing those since the start of class(Pertinently during wednesdays when it’s our Free Day–Everyone can wear their civilian clothes). I totally agree, you can’t find it here in our country so I’ve requested my Auntie in Australia to send me some high-end cloth so I can turn them into covetable bow tie masterpieces!
Anyways, I love your bow tie, the sequined one! So BB!

Delighted to find bryanboy.com! But I beg to differ – I LOVE IT when “my random curiosities turn into obsessions” ! —- I too have been obsessing about bowties – but, you see, I am a painter and you would be surprised to see how deliciously tempting our darlings are when they pose for their portraits. (your little “Chanel” cuties are irresistable)
