Description
Reviews

As legions of space invaders descend this striking graphic design neckwear, a rogue extraterrestrial bides his time. Let him fondly recall his gaming days with this Space Invaders Tie while paying homage to the pioneer of all video games and its ground-breaking creator Tomohiro Nishikado. 100% woven silk. Made in the USA. 53"l. x 3.5"w.

Museum Provenance

The Smithsonian American Art Museum’s interactive exhibit The Art of Video Games (March 16 – September 30, 2012) is one of the first exhibitions to explore the forty-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium. These nostalgic and highly collectible gifts, accessories and toys celebrate the relatively simple joys of ‘80s arcade and Atari console games.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Comments about Space Invaders Tie:

Gave this as a gift to a friend who used to be a big video game geek. He loved it and thought it was very clever but not too silly to wear to work like some novelty ties are.

Comments about Space Invaders Tie:

Bought as gift for my husband, a business law instructor. The silk fabric is a good weight for a tie and the pattern is bright. The subject is humorous with a nod to popular culture while giving a wink to the geeks among us. Don't know yet how it will wear over time but at this price it doesn't really matter.

Comments about Space Invaders Tie:

For teens that have to wear a tie to school every day, its hard to find something that appeals to them, is fun, but still follows the dress code standards. This is a great choice for that. Excellent quality and a cool pattern. A winner all around.
