THE POLITICIAN STYLE KNOT AROUND THE NECK

From the one colour of the English to Fini’s comfit pink colour: the tie is the weapon for a winning look.

The tie is a fundamental accessory, because it is the only chance offered to the authoritative and subjugated men to fight the uniformity.

In their dark and a bit cemeterial suits the tie has marked out the English electoral campaign.

DAVID CAMERON

The conservative challenger has chosen the violet tie that in Italy nobody would ever wear for bad luck, following Jung’s theory about colours this colour means rationality and respect of rules.

NICK CLEGG

The “white Obama”, lib-dem’s great revelation, he has preferred a golden yellow colour: it is the same one bringing him good luck during his first TV identification parade, in the symbology it means dynamism and a sociable and extroverted character.

GORDON BROWN

For the first minister in office a fire red leader style choice, the colour of the assertiveness and of the leadership and self-assured.

During the first match he had a pink tie, but he wanted to stress that: “This TV debate is not a beauty competition”.

BARACK OBAMA

The President of the United States opts for the red colour.

Pure energy, competition too, braveness, sense of leadership with the risk of aggressiveness.

GIANFRANCO FINI

With the new campaign he has chosen pastel colour ties and particularly the pink.

SILVIO BERLUSCONI
Eternally dotted, he is very faithful to Marinella’s Neapolitan ties with very small dots. 

BEN BERNANKE
The President of the Federal Reserve commissions on-line regimental style ties and likes the special offers.
