Design a tie for Hermes competition

French luxury fashion brand Hermes is running a tie design competition in collaboration with Designboom.  It's open to anyone in any country and you have until August 1st. 

You are asked to develop a new pattern that could be either a re-interpretation of the Hermes classic patterns (equestrian , sport, marine theme, whimsical animal motifs, geometric variations including stripes, plant and flower designs and the H delicately imprinted across the surface of the tie) or something completely different, that could be used for the silk-screen printing - or weaving technique.

1st prize: 3000Euros, 2nd: 2000, 3rd: 1000.  Not bad.
