Women in ties return as feminism faces pushback
Women use neckties as a symbol of power amid setbacks in feminist rights, with major fashion houses featuring ties at recent men's Fashion Week events.
- Last week at men's Fashion Week in Paris, ties appeared widely across collections, while women like Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore revived the accessory, Patrycia Centeno said.
- Historically, women writers such as George Sand and Colette, and suffragettes, wore ties as acts of defiance, tracing back to the 17th-century French `cravate` derived from Croatian `Hrvat`.
- Experts explain the tie as a visual tool to normalise female leadership, with specialists saying women wear it to assert their place in patriarchal systems, Centeno noted.
- With feminist gains under pressure, the tie has resurfaced as a symbol of public power, with fashion historian Marine Chaleroux saying feminists use it to symbolize visibility amid rights being questioned or reversed.
- Centeno noted that menswear is experimenting with creative, deliberately casual tie styling, with trends shifting toward streetwear uses that can shift their symbolic meanings in political contexts.
