Scarves Scarf of The Day 2023- Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[papertiger]

I love this CW for the little bits of rose. But I understand your search for alternatives! I have a few others. Maybe these pix will help: (I CLICKED THUMBNAIL - WHY ARE THE PIX SO BIG - SORRY!)

All lovely, I particularly like the last (and wish it were mine)

IME, the 'Insert multiple' Thumbnail has not worked. I always have to click 'thumbnail' on each separately. The default seems to be full-size. I thought it was just me.

With the ability for many huge pics (which can be great) when others post many large pics, I find each page takes 'forever' to open, so I try to be conscious of that when posting multiples. If many are experiencing this issue, maybe I will feedback to @Vlad.

Members: Just use the 'thumbs-up' emoji to this post if you have also experienced the same issue as @momasaurus and me so that I know without us having to go OT in this thread.

Back to 'old and new' week

I just modified @momasaurus ' post with the Insert multiple... - Select All - Thumbnail function, and it appears to have worked fine.

I can confirm that the forum automatically inserts full sized attachments if the thumbnail insertion is not chosed by the poster.

OK, it's just that in the past when I've deliberately chosen - Select All - Thumbnail, the full-size has come up anyway. Maybe it is just me

We're all familiar with classic Dallet designs such as Equateur, Jungle Love, Panthera Pardus, Les Mustangs... I own two Dallets, my Equateur MT Cut and the Jungle Love Love twilly:








What is interesting is to observe the influence Dallet must have had on contemporary Hermes artists. We have the obvious hommage with Les Mustangs III which @LKBNOLA modeled a few posts back, as well as the influences mentioned by @bunnycat in Rendez-Vous Galant.
Similar echoes of Dallet can also be observed in one of the latest Hermes shawls: Retour a la Nature, where Octave Marsal and Theo de Gueltzl depict realistic animals hiding in lush foliage in a manner very similar to that of Dallet. I bought this shawl last week (though will probably return it)

I’ve never met a border I didn’t like.

Phewee! Spectacular

Thank you Karen! It’s actually just one losange with different borders on each point called FOUETS ET BADINES EN PATCH.

Thank you, Magjes, that is such fun. And looks chic, too.

Interesting idea with a scarf ring and a plisse. I assume you needed a slightly larger-than-usual ring? I should try that.

Thank you for the intro. It is fascinating how different new Hermes scarves are from those of yesteryear. Perhaps I should wear some of my older ones this week to remind myself how far the printing technology has come. Loves that Nuees by the way!

Thanks, Anna. It’s actually smaller than a regular H scarf ring because it’s a finger ring. About size 6.5 or maybe 7 but it slides on quite easily and stays snug enough to feel confident it won’t slip off.

Another great example for this week is Couvertures et Tenues de Jour. It showcases 10 horses in a grid, each covered with a different blanket of varying patterns. You can see a picture of the original issue from 1962 here. A true classic, it has since been reinvented multiple times in different formats.

I own two modern reinterpretations of this design. One is the straightforward bandana CSGM version. The bandana motifs give the classic equestrian scarf a fresh new edge. The design is simplified down to a minimalist 2-3 colors. And I love the bright red contrast hem of my CW - it was the reason I bought it. (From what I know, contrast hems are modern, yes? Most classic designs I've seen had hems that were the same color as the border.)

I also have another interpretation of this classic design. Although i have never seen anything online to confirm this, I'm pretty sure Gianpaolo Pagni used Couvertures as his inspiration when he created Garde-Robe Pop, which features a similar array of horses in a grid covered in blankets of varying patterns. He omitted the central medallion, which to me is a rather dated design element. This helps draw the focus to the patterns of the blankets, which are echoed in the stripes and polka dots in the background. A perfectly modern, pop art reimagining of the classic scarf!

Interesting, @ajaxbreaker. The influence is clear. Even though the central medallion has been removed to update the design, the central ‘ribbon’ in Garde-robe-pop is circular (the only instance) which gives another throwback to the original…

Great catch!

I use some finger rings for scarves that are this this size also. They should fit a 90 securely. You could go up a size without issue too, I would think, for stiffer silks.

I hardly have any vintage scarfs but my actual scarf of the day is a slightly belated contribution to last week‘s theme when a couple of „Flying Carpets“ were posted. My first CSGM and still a favourite because of its versatility.

 

[Pirula]

Difficult week for me to play, but I do have a few modern versions of classics….

I can’t seem to be able to get them into any type of order, but here are a Dallet, a Couvetures, a Brides de Gala, an Ex Libris, and a Tigre Royale…

Now that tassel Tigre is so cute, Pirula!

 

[MAGJES]

Thank you MAGJES!

Rehoming that Ailes was a mistake IMO.

I totally agree!

OMG Pickles is so fluffy! Current kitty-in-residence Table keeps giving me the side-eye, so I don't think she will be amenable to modelling a scarf yet (or ever...)
Seen here enjoying the newest grocery box
