DESIGNER'S NOTES

A vibrant Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf with a design after the work The Codomas (1947) by the French Fauvist and Modernist artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954).

Although appearing at first abstract, using Matisse's technique of gouaches découpées or cut-paper collage, the work is actually a depiction of a trapeze act, and comes from the book Jazz issued in 1947 as a collection of similar works.

Armed with an awareness of this interpretation, it is then possible to pick out the trapeze artist's swings, their safety net, and the two figures appearing to move toward each other in mid-air.

COLOURS

STYLING

A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders. More scarf styling ideas are available in this wonderful How to Tie a Scarf book.
