Talarico Cravatte has become a reference point for man’s elegance thanks to their care for details, the selection of first quality fabrics, the rigorously Made in Italy and the support of qualified labour.
Produced in a limited edition and handmade using refined textiles and a special technique, Maurizio Talarico ties were given to the heads of state who participated at the G7 meeting in Taormina. For the United States of America’s president, Donald Trump, a tailored red satin silk tie was chosen. That was not the first time that an American president received a Talarico tie. «Matteo Renzi gave one to Barack Obama and his wife in the occasion of their last dinner at the White House, right at the end of Obama’s mandate. It’s been a great satisfaction for me, many people read the news and contacted me, it was hardly possible to talk of anything else at the atelier».
Also, members of parliament, senators, entrepreneurs and journalists do appreciate the artefacts of the Roman atelier, among them old time politicians like Maurizio Lupi and Mario Baccini but also spokespersons of the Five Stars Movement. Even some well-known female figure chose to wear Maurizio Talarico ’s creations, like the defence ministry Roberta Pinotti and the secretary of the Fratelli d’Italia party, Giorgia Meloni. Both loved in particular his foulards.
To those who ask him an advice on what colour tie to wear, Talarico provides neat answers. «According to me there are no colours in the world of ties. There are events, such as the Pitti in Florence, that influence styles and man’s current fashion. To me a tie goes with the clothes that a man has in his wardrobe and with the mood with which he wakes up in the morning. The tie is indeed a mirror of men’s personality. There are men who manly wear plain colour ties, others micro or macro fantasy ones, not to talk of those who want them of a specific tailored size or who only wear wool or cashmere. The truth is that it is the tie who influences man, not vice versa».
