Delaunay Eiffel Tower Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

This vibrant and colourful Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf features an element from the oil painting entitled simply Tour Eiffel (1926), by the French Orphist painter Robert Delaunay (1885-1941).

Delaunay created many images of the famous Parisian monument, including both drawings and paintings beginning in 1909 with an initial series until 1912, and then recommencing for four more years from 1922. The latter examples, that include the work that inspired this silk scarf, can be distinguished from the first series by the brighter colour palette employed by the artist.

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.
