Asymmetry
The deliberate absence of symmetry in a tie, used for expressive or aesthetic effect.
Definition
Asymmetry describes a tie whose composition intentionally departs from mirror-image balance. It is used for aesthetic effect, to respond to a specific body, or to express a particular mood or intention.
Discussion
Asymmetry is a considered aesthetic choice rather than an absence of craft; poorly executed symmetry and considered asymmetry are not the same thing.
