Scarves and Storytelling

What can be more simple and more complex than a scarf?
A simple piece of fabric can transform your entire look...
Lets look back at Grace Kelly and Jackie O and how they created their signature looks with scarves.










































The women who really know how to make use of a scarf and value their importance, are of course, French women.
Author of the bestselling book French Women don't get fat, Mireille Guiliano, has a charming video on scarves, http://mireilleguiliano.com/content/scarves-secrets-and-tricks

Liberty of London have their own twist on teaching women how to wear a scarf with their postcard collection, http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product/Liberty/Books-&-Stationery/She-Bought-A-Liberty-Scarf-Postcards,--Liberty/56037


Now...
To tell you all about my favorite brand for scarves.
Wolff et Descourtis. http://www.galerie-vivienne.com/en/index.php?q=wolff_et_decourtis

A French family business that goes back to 1876, hand painted velvet fabric where they do shawls and scarves. Its not just that it's beautifully handcrafted, its that every one of their pieces tell a story, like a painting you could stare at.
