Klimt Red Habotai Silk Wrap

DESIGNER'S NOTES

An oversized Fox & Chave silk habotai wrap with a pattern derived from the work Hope II (1907-08) by Gustav Klimt.

The development of pattern in Gustav Klimt's works is one of the defining features of the artistic style and evolved significantly over his career.

Klimt’s patterns often carried symbolic meanings, reflecting his interests in mythology, eroticism, and the cycle of life and death. As his career progressed, the patterns in his later works become more fragmented and experimental, reflecting the artist’s continued exploration of abstraction and symbolism.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave habotai silk wrap is a large oversized item with fabulous versatility. It can be draped around the neck as a scarf or worn as a shawl over the shoulders providing a bit of warmth on cooler evenings. It can also double as a stylish cover-up, either tied around the waist as a sarong or draped over the body as a lightweight, breathable layer that provides some protection from the sun while still looking effortlessly chic.
