The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business:

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

continued from here THEME WEEKS for 2021 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, we have some real treats in store! We have a full complement of scarf mistresses and GSMs for 2021 and I want to give a quick shout out and thank you to my fellow...

The new theme commences tomorrow (3 Jan - whenever your time zone gets there) but there's no reason why you can't post earlier if you want.

Following in @Cookiefiend footsteps, I’d like to present another Kermit Oliver masterpiece. The American artist’s rich and complex graphics are full of historical significance and cultural relevance and are perfect for this week’s theme.
His Les Danses des Indiens features a multitude of images and symbols from various Native American traditions and their rituals, ceremonies and dances. The Hermès catalog states, “For the Cheyenne, the Kiowa, the Apache and the Hopi, choreography comes down to ritual. Whether they celebrate the sun or bison, mark the passage of girls to adulthood, whether they invoke success for the hunt, or the spirits of their ancestors, Indians dance.”
Arranged around a central image of the sun, there appears a display of dancers and villagers wearing their intricate regalia. The four largest figures represent a Plains Grass dancer and Buffalo dancer, an Apache Crown dancer and a Hopi Antelope dancer. Traditional symbols and accoutrements such as gourds, peace pipes, moccasins, rattles, feathered fans, bows, arrows and ceremonial drums appear throughout the design. Decorative medallions depicting pow wows, ritualistic and village scenes decorate the corners in the style of Native mud paintings.

Our temps have dropped dramatically in Paradise and I have been wearing a CSGM out for the past couple of days.

Wonderful post Fifi!! Thank you for gleaning all this information (though I know you do it often!) on this scarf - it is a beauty!

What a lovely lovely look Croisette! A perfect pairing!

She is beautiful.
If I had such a dog, I know I'd be doting on her!

Oh thank you sweetie - she is a darling.

Wonderful intro of theme week @Cookiefiend, and I will post my Sherlock silk(s) if I can get a free moment from work. In the meantime, for some holiday cheer, I must post my holiday silks while I can since its such a limited window of timefor them to get their neck time!

Too adorable!!!

I actually have a post I want to write for a sotd this week in theme, but I haven't had time to do that yet. So in the meantime, here is my actual sotd - this season's Kelly en Perles, a 140 wash.

Gorgeous!

Today we will be looking at the names of important aviators that are depicted on my scarf Reves D’espace.

View attachment 4924912

Let’s begin with Chuck Yeager, who passed away this week at the age of 97. He was a war hero and a test pilot and in 1947 he became the first person to break the sound barrier. He definitely belongs on this scarf.

View attachment 4924914

Other famous names on the scarf include Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon in 1969, and Charles Lindbergh, the first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris in 1927.

View attachment 4924915

One of my personal favorites is Antoine de Saint-Exupery. He was a French writer and aviator, and is probably best known for writing “The Little Prince” (1943). But, I first read his aviation novels, especially “Wind, Sand, and Stars” (1939) about his adventures as an airmail carrier across the African Sahara, and found them so gripping. And, very relatable as a fellow pilot.

View attachment 4924916

Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright are there as the inventors of the airplane because of their first powered flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903.

View attachment 4924917

Frenchman Louis Bleriot is known as the inventor of the first practical headlamp for cars, but is on the scarf because he was the first to fly across the English Channel in 1909.

View attachment 4924919

More recently, Americans Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager piloted the first aircraft around the world without stopping or refueling in 1986. Their aircraft, Voyager, was designed by Burt Rutan, Dick's brother. I was lucky enough to hear him speak at my local airport a number of years ago.

When I first spotted the name Roland Garros on this scarf, I immediately thought of the French Tennis Open which is played at a stadium named Roland-Garros. However, the stadium is named for French aviator Roland Garros, who set several altitude records, and gained fame for the first non-stop flight across the Mediterranean Sea in 1913.

Finally, I am highlighting some small fliers on my scarf of the day. Do you know which scarf this is?

Redbird - I would vote this as one of the best posts of the year - absolutely flabbergasted at the amount of study you've put into this! What a wealth of information! Astonishing!

I'm guessing your scarf is an Alice Shirley, but I'm not sure which one!

I'd say Jaguar Quetzal.

Continuing on my Kachinas detective work today with another 4 (there are 16 in the outer circle), today contains one of my favorites - the Owl Kachina.

Today’s mystery scarf surprised me. As I was searching over it to find a hidden detail - I found one that I hadn’t noticed before! Yesterday we watched a section of the news about the counting of Koalas in Australia - the poor dears - and look what I found!


Which scarf is this cutie hidden on?

 

[Karenska]

I'd say Jaguar Quetzal.

Oooh, yes, maybe ...

Aux Portes du Palais, our beloved Christine Henry. From Hermès:

“A deep understanding of Indian culture, art and mythology inspired the designer to create the scarf Aux Portes Du Palais. Each detail, character, animal, plant and architectural element is deliberate and richly symbolic. The large doors signify the threshold between two worlds: the known and the unknown. Fruit-laden trees bursting with flowers represent the Buddha in Indian folk art and symbolize fertility.

The lotus flowers, the flower of the Buddha, represent spiritual blossoming.
Emblematic animals, revered and present in all Indian traditions, are also present: the elephant – ridden by Indra, the god of storms and rain – brings peace and prosperity;

the horse is the symbol of wisdom and formal beauty;


the cow, a nourishing mother figure, is the very image of non-violence;

the tiger represents the energy of nature…

The four dancers next to the trees narrate the legends of the gods and stories from everyday life using graceful gestures.


In the corners of the scarf we see examples of the protective drawings women paint on their homes. The frieze surrounding the scarf, in the style of Indian miniatures rich in colorful decorations, is a tribute to the delicacy of Indian art, expressed in fabrics and temple decorations alike.”

Chiff looks on, himself a little Buddha.

You are definitely the best person to own RdE... Outstanding post! All so fascinating! And, One of my fav details from Jaguar Quetzal

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Thank you, Fifi, this is a wonderful essay. I am falling in love with KO’s designs, especially the Native American-themed ones. Such detail and reverence. Another grand carré by Mr Oliver is Mythologies des Hommed Rouges. I hope to acquire either one or both of these designs.

They truly are amazing designs... I also own Mythologies des Hommes Rouges and it is a wonder

L'hiver by Ledoux?

Yes! Wearing it today because we received our first dusting of snow. A Monsieur Ledoux grail for me, for sure.
