Over the past few seasons Timo Weiland has become synonymous with the eye-catching and at times outlandish neck wear he designs. Weiland's accessories have ranged from skinny leather cravats and well-fed bowties in the same material to ornamented bibs that only a mature, fashion savvy-set could love. Now the designer is gearing up to stake his claim over a new sartorial realm: clothing.

Hey, remember that kid in high school who you were all like, "wow, they’re really going to be something someday?" And maybe you were sorta jealous but not really, because you were going to be something too, right? Then one day, you bump into them on the street and they are totally married to, like, Paul Rudd and hanging out with Brangelina, and their TV show is doing really well, and maybe they’ve discovered a cure for diabetes, and you’re like, okay, that was fast. That’s kind of how we felt about Timo Weiland last night, minus the Brangelina-Rudd-Diabetes trifecta, as he celebrated the launch of Timo. Neckwear, with a few hundred of his nearest and dearest (Robin Williams, with son Zach), while his talent hung blindingly bright from every corner of the Phillips de Pury and Company building. We’re not jealous though, cuz we totally have our own line coming out soon too.
