The new tie-ups are the demonstration that in the world of fashion objects there are still many ideas to be realized. The belt-object has always been linked to some traditional features that identify and define it. The materials, for example: "belt" is traditionally a leather or fabric object, with a metal buckle for fastening. The stylistic associations are a natural consequence: a leather belt will be better matched with a classic wear, while a fabric belt will be preferably associated to a casual style. Tie-ups overcome all that: rubber and plastic substitute leather, fabric and metal, and they can be accompanied with any style. In the world of fashion objects it's time to turn over the page. "Tie-up" is an extremely fashionable term: contemporary and technological as the new belt-object to which it confers the name.
