The Seoul Cycling Design Competition of 2010 has attracted the 'Retroreflector Tie' as an entry by Jasna Sokovic and Noel O'Connell.
This particular idea's success rides on its versatility. During the day, the 'Retroreflector Tie' appears to be your average gray-striped necktie with vibrant red bands. The reflector fabric of the 'Retroreflector Tie,' which is woven in with more soft and conventional necktie materials, reveals glaring orange stripes that signal your presence on the road, keeping you flagged against oncoming cars.
