Foulards Et Carrés De Soie

Indispensable accessories and sought-after collectibles, scarves have been an essential part of 20th century fashion. From Art Deco to Hollywood in the 1950s to the Swinging Sixties, they have been reinvented in every major decorative arts movement over the past century and up to the present day. This richly illustrated volume presents the work of a wide range of international designers: Paul Poiret, Elsa Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, Mary Quant, Gucci, Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, Zandra Rhodes, Nicole Miller, and many others.

This reference book presents more than 250 scarves reproduced in color and all specially photographed, with advice on authentication, dating and conservation.
