Alice Shirley has been posting a series of sketches and research into most of her scarves over the last couple days on her Instagram @alicekshirley

#ZebraPegasus- I thought it might be interesting for you to see some of my sketches to see how I meander my way towards designing a finished @hermes#silkcarre . The finished painting is always painted to scale, 90cm x 90cm in #gouache on paper. Then my job is done. It is up to the brilliance of the #Hermes team to turn my artwork into a beautiful #silkscreen printed #silk#scarf . My stage of the process can take months at a time to complete, and once the finished design is handed over to Hermès, it will not appear in Hermès stores for a minimum of 2 years. This is a long process, about #craftsmanship and #creativity
