Wearing Flanerie a Versailles today. Looking forward to seeing everyone's STEM scarves!
Beautiful! I agree with SilkCouture. Lovely pairing.
Thank you @bunnycat - I did not know this design. It is lovely and I am happy that others are better at finding math in scarves than myself!!!What a fantastic post and start for this week HE!!!! Love all your selections and what a technology find on that Dreamer scarf! And Double Leopardy -now there's reason to "need" a scarf....
I do have some math to share for this week, it just happens.
Here's one I wore sometime last week (or maybe it was the week before...it all blurs together when you work at home).
One of my first mousselines was a 90cm called Vinci by Francoise Heron, which was based on this labyrinth and geometric knot design from Leonardo da Vinci. And of course, da Vinci was not only a master artist, but also made many many scientific and mathematic geometry explorations in his work. I don't recall enough of my art history, but I think it would be a safe bet much of his work in perspective was based in mathematical precision. A true blend of the art and sciences.

Wonderful colours!!! And another Da Vinci connection!!!Thank you to all gracious hosts for making my Sunday mornings fun! as the first timer posting my sotd on this thread, I am very excited! and, hopefully, I am with today's theme. My sotd is Le Pegase d' Hermes au bloc 140 silk by Christian Renonciat, in blue azur/vert/rose. the original Le Pegase d' Hermes scarf design is described as "a mechanical construction, a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and the dream of building a new word." In my mind it's a tribute to STEM themenot to mention, it's one of my favorite H scarf designs to date.
Here's my contribution for science week, Botanica Grafica:
"Arumfel, Centummorbia, Eupatorium, Loc Sumutri, Spatula fœtida, Zurumbeth… The most scholarly might perhaps recognize these species, listed in the index of The Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes, the 16th century botanical manual used by Gianpaolo Pagni as a backdrop for his new variety of herbarium. Layer after layer, as if planting seeds, he superimposed botanical plates and his stamped designs, the fruit of a graphic language to which only he holds the key. A flower blossomed, then another, until there were twelve in every color!"

Laboratoire du temp is such an inspired design (and great colors on this!) with a lot of hist and sci in it!!! Hope I find one myself one Day.
That is a stunning scarf!!!! And I adore the direct connection to history of botany.
The STEM scarf is absolutely perfect, and I'm thrilled to be your twin!
Amazing to see how much geometry and math Can be hidden in a lovely horse design! Thank you both!!
