The History of the Tie - VI

This year is celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Sorbonne Revolution of 1968, the landmark event of the Cultural Revolution.
This Revolution’s final goal was anarchy – an extreme form of egalitarianism – and this principle has seeped into many aspects of our post-Sorbonne world. This infiltration of vulgarity and egalitarianism also entered the realm of clothing.
