New York-based artist Nicholas Tee Ruiz has revamped the classic bow tie to help its wearers tap into their inner professor. In his ‘Bow Tie Collection'—which he created while working for The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)— Ruiz used everyday materials, such as film, LEGOs, guitar picks, pills and corks, to create wearable art in the form of bow ties.

Write or draw on this cool chalkboard bow tie, whatever you want.

A bow tie for tough people.
