Eight
years ago, we met Mimi Fong through a mutual friend at an opening of
a new play in lower Manhattan. Although Mimi was born in New York and raised in Iowa, she had a love,
through her father's family, for Asian silks.
At first, Mimi simply wanted to make ties for her husband that weren't
as "corporate" as
what he was getting and showed his creative side. That night at the
theater she introduced her husband and the tie she made for him. We
were ecstatic and encouraged her to produce more. The resulting tie
collection, which Saint Laurie was the first to carry, was colorful, original
and easy to match with any color suit.
Mimi's ties are a blend of silk and rayon which gives the patterns greater dimension and the ties greater durability. The blend also gives her ties a somewhat vintage appeal since the Forties was the decade that rayon ("artificial silk") was introduced. Her ties are also especially appropriate for weddings and other formal affairs so she expanded the line to include cummerbunds, vests and bowties. We have done many weddings where the groomsmen were all decked out in Mimi Fong neckwear that coordinated with what the bridesmaids were wearing.
