Scarf of the Day (Themes on page 1)

[sparklelisab]

Silkies, I'm starting the week a few hours early. I enjoyed learning about our feature artist this week:

Philippe Ledoux

Philippe Ledoux was enlisted by Robert Dumas in 1947 to design for the Maison Hermès. His amazing talents as an artist and illustrator can be enjoyed in the 90 carrés that he had created during his tenure at the design house. His last two carrés, La Marine (a Rames) and Les Trois Mousquetaires, were finished by his nephew, Vladimir Rybaltchenko, after a motorcycle accident that took his life in 1975 (could not confirm the year). Hermès issued a number of Ledoux’s carrés posthumously.

With over 90 pieces attributed to his name, the list is mighty long. Just to name a few:

Cosmos
Ecuries
Gronland from 1982
L’Hiver
Napoleon
Springs
Pavois
And maybe the most famous, 1958’s Phaeton.

Phaeton is amazing and I know several Silkies own it. I hope this piece of silk fabulosity comes out this week again. And my one Ledoux: Pavois.

Hurray! I'm glad it got here in time for you to post this week, GG!

I was happy to be your "scarf-whisperer"... it keeps me occupied while accumulating enough $$$ to buy my next scarf!

I am so glad it arrived in time to post too

Thank you again! You are a wonderful Hermes Scarf whisperer I. Ready for another, but need to save up as well

and meee! Irresistible scarf. So happy to be twins with you once again.

I bought this scarf in France to make 'closure' to a phase of my life, it was very fitting design and is a very important scarf to me, the fact that it is so beautiful makes it more delightful to wear. And those little bits of black make it smart wear with a little black suit or dress at any time of the year, and not just for a Summer wardrobe (love your shade of lipstick).

Congrats, Papertiger, and welcome to the club!
