Morning Glory Silk Chiffon Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES A floral Fox & Chave silk chiffon silk scarf with elements in blue green after an illustrative work by Jane Loudon featured as plate 26 in ' The Ladies' Flower Garden ', published 1842. This design features blooms commonly known as Morning Glory from the family Convolvulaceae . Jane Loudon (1807-1858) was initially a science-fiction novelist and the writer of The Mummy! , (1827), before becoming a pioneering English writer and botanical illustrator, after marrying horticulturist John Claudius Loudon, and was best known for popularising horticulture among Victorian women. Her most influential works include The Ladies' Flower-Garden series and Gardening for Ladies (1840), which combined accessible language with beautifully hand-coloured illustrations. These books made gardening approachable for middle-class women and helped reshape domestic roles through education and art.  COLOURS STYLING There are many ways to style a Fox & Chave chiffon silk scarf including the basic drape, belted drape and reverse drape. Our chiffon silk scarfs look really good worn in the bandit knot or faux infinity style too. More scarf styling ideas are available in this wonderful How to Tie a Scarf book.
