Vittorio J designer and founder Jesse Chao was married on April 29th as part of TLC’s Royal Wedding Project. Together with his wife Marie, he was one of three couples participating in a live event in Times Square, broadcast live in sync with the Royal Wedding, TLC’s first live telecast ever.
Saying “I do” in front of millions of viewers, Chao wore a custom tie from the VJNY collection, arriving in stores later this year. The VJNY collection is Vittorio J’s slimmest necktie collection to date (measuring 3 inches at each tie’s widest point), bringing a streetwear mentality to classic patterns and unique graphic motifs.
The name emphasizes Vittorio J’s ties to New York City and its unique cultural soufflé. Inspirations include tattoos, streetwear designs and the flags of different countries.
The production uses the best natural materials in the world, all cut and folded by hand, and since each design is created in a limited run, the ties are true collector’s items.
