NAVY FOR BILL

Former US president William “Bill” Clinton's style was standard fare for men during the 90's but he still managed to look polished and sharp.

Though, not many have been attributed to him compared to John Fitzgerald Kennedy, both have undeniably left an indelible mark on American style.

Kennedy was obviously East Coast preppy! Clinton on the other hand was all about the perfect accessory – the necktie!



Jesse Chao, head designer and founder of Vittorio J personally designed a classic custom tie in blue with white and red accents, complimented by matching saddle stitching on the back.

Dedicated to adding “originality and coolness” into today’s modern man’s goods, the 100% silk fabric has red and white accents and is complimented by matching saddle stitching, on the back. Collection.

“ Made out of 100% silk fabric, the custom tie was cut, folded and hand-sewn in Naples by artisanal craftsmen. Also, the silk came from the best fabric house in England and is exclusive to the Vittorio J Exclusives Collection.” Said Chao.

Not bad, huh!

STARS, STRIPES AND MANNY PAQUIAO

Great style means having a new voice and not being a copycat.

My mom once told me that, “one is not born with style but can be born with good taste. With style, you learn.”

Growing up with a mom who had a lifelong affair with fashion is inspiring and seeing her through many transformations from her days in Assumption convent, which has kept her image fresh at 60 is pure class.

Like my mom (and yes, my dad too), my approach to fashion is simple and pretty much a work in progress just like my collection of silk and knit ties from all over.

Yes, nothing excites me more than Vittorio J’s limited edition Philippine flag inspired tie. The tie is 100% pure Italian silk and is a variation of VJNY’s Varick King Skull pattern.


"Being born and raised in the Philippines until the age of 12, I've always had a special feeling towards the Filipino people and their culture. So it was pretty natural for me to design something with their flair". - Jesse Chao (Founder)

With Manny Paquiao's big fight against Juan Manuel Marquez this coming Saturday ( November 12 and no, it isn’t a national holiday haha! ), this is a great item to pick up and step out in style.
