THE NEW POWER ACCESSORY – THE SILK SCARF

Make a style statement with a wearable work of art by Laslett England.

Red Riviera Diamond Silk Scarf by Laslett England

Inspired by the French Riviera and Art Deco style, this striking diamond-shaped scarf is my latest design, crafted from silk crepe de chine which gives it a distinctly modern-vintage feel. Fashion is loving the retro printed silk scarf again. Its revival is set to continue beyond a/w 2018 to be a style stunner for s/s 2019 when we’re focused on wearing it as a headband or headscarf.

A diamond shape gives a scarf a wonderful dynamic, so it falls and drapes beautifully which means it can be tied in a multitude of different ways. It looks great just draped around the neck to let the pointed ends hang loose, just simply tied or worn tightly around the head and knotted at the back. The shape does the work for you.

It’s about shape, colour and pattern and more importantly: how all three interact, which is why my designs work so well with an outfit. A silk scarf is uplifting, giving you a style lift with a hit of colour and pattern. Scarves can be a wearable work of art, stylish and versatile; they add a layer of sophistication or bring a more playful attitude to dressing.

Designed in either a striking Scarlet Red or a bright Azure Blue the Riviera Diamond Scarf makes a real style statement whether it’s to upgrade a white tee, up-style a favourite ensemble, incorporate into garments, wear as a knotted headscarf, or to personalise a bag. Silk scarves can have practical uses too. Grace Kelly fashioned hers into an emergency sling when she hurt her arm at a yacht party in 1959. A scarf instantly adds a pop of colour and personality to whatever you’re wearing.

Quality of make and materials need to be a given; a beautiful silk scarf is a key accent to all kinds of outfits. They also make a wonderful gift for both women and men. Men are increasingly enjoying accessorising and tapping into the scarf trend. Ultimately, I would like anyone who wears one of my designs to feel they have the perfect finishing touch to their outfit, a signature piece that endures.
