Deco Scroll Crêpe de Chine Silk Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A Fox & Chave silk crêpe de chine scarf with a monochrome design of scrolling and geometric forms in the Art Deco style.

Art Deco was a defining style of the 1920s and 1930s and revolutionised pattern design with its emphasis on geometric forms, symmetry, and streamlined elegance. Influenced by industrial progress and exotic motifs, Art Deco patterns often featured bold, repetitive shapes like chevrons, zigzags, and sunbursts, evoking dynamism and modernity.

These designs often incorporated luxurious materials and colours, such as gold, silver, and deep jewel tones, reflecting opulence. Patterns drew inspiration from ancient cultures, including Egyptian, Aztec, and Asian art, blending stylised flora, fauna, and abstract elements with sleek lines. This aesthetic had a profound impact on textiles, wallpapers, ceramics, and graphic design.
