With the intention of introducing Latino images into the mainstream, the collection transcends boundaries and appeals to anyone interested in cutting edge fashion.

“My goal is to dress today’s fashion conscious person for their day at the office or any special occasion” Gregorio Founder, William Lopez said. “My accessories allow him or her to feel the pride and exhibit the beauty of the Latino culture.”

The neckwear reflects the exquisite colors and images of the Latino culture often observed through art, architectural styles and pottery. The collection was inspired by iconic images such as Mexico’s Aztec Eagle Warriors, Lotería and the Virgin of Guadalupe. Each tie and scarf bares a label detailing the history of the symbol used in the design in both English and Spanish connecting whoever wears the piece to its meaning in Latino heritage.

“Neckwear gives you a canvas to tell and share your story,” Lopez said. “It is not about creating a statement that is equivalent to wearing a neon sign, it was about creating a presence in which the person could look in the mirror and just know.”

Featured in Latina Magazine’s 2008 Gift Guide, Gregorio’s premiere line of handmade ties was well-received by many. With the expansion into ladies’ scarves, the newest collection promises to be even more groundbreaking than its predecessor. Purchase Gregorio ties and scarves online at www.GregorioTies.com and specialty retail stores nationwide.
