The Scarf

A celebration of the scarf not only as a fashion accessory but as a work of art. It chronicles the history and appeal of its subject, with examples from Hermes, Pucci and Givenchy, with printed bandanas, the limited-edition from l'Ascher, humorous souvenir scarves, Deco patterns and shawl-scarves. One chapter features one-of-a kind scarves created for "The Scarf" by such artists and designers as Kenny Scarf, Roz Chast, Maurice Sendak, Mary McFadden and the House of Balmain. The final chapter provides ideas for arranging, tying and wearing scarves.
