Jerry Garcia Introduces Line Of Neckties
1992
Jerry Garcia, who has a passion for painting and studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, introduces a line of neckties he designed.
Garcia, who studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute, has been dabbling in art for quite some time, often working on drawings and paintings when he isn't making music. Neckties provide a unique canvas for his work, which isn't Dead-issue tie dye, but abstract designs.
That Garcia has never been spotted wearing a necktie doesn't seem to matter (his signature look is jeans and a black T-shirt) - this is premium silk crepe neckwear, selling for $28.50.
The line is sold at Bloomingdale's and does very well, making not only an artistic statement but a cultural one as well, kind of like putting a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac Bill Clinton is spotted wearing one, as is Al Gore.
In 1993, jazz great Miles Davis follows suit with his own line of ties (some of which are kind of blue). Unlike Garcia, Davis is known for his fashion sense.
