In 1930, Marlene Dietrich walked onto the screen in Josef von Sternberg's Morocco wearing a man's tuxedo and a top hat. She sang in a smoky nightclub, kissed a woman in the audience, and walked off like she owned the place. Audiences had never seen anything like it.
Dietrich kept dressing that way off screen too. Trousers, tailored jackets, and neckties. Hollywood studios worried about it, and newspapers wrote about it. She kept wearing what she liked. Nearly a century later, that's what people remember the most: she dressed for herself. A philosophy our designer Saida has always subscribed and permeates all of our designs at Object & Dawn.
The Dietrich Beaded Necktie
In homage to Marlene and her independent spirit, we present: The Dietrich Beaded Necktie. A slim tie made with our signature beading. It's lined in velvet at the collar to rest comfortably and softly against your neck. An adjustable chain and clasp at the back make for easy on and off.
It's one of our least complex designs, yet perhaps our most wearable day to day. Make a strong, edgy statement with a traditional suit or blazer. Wear it over over a solid colored top, a tank top or your bare chest. Infinitely wearable and sure to be one of your favorite pieces.
