Scarf of the Day (Themes on page 1)

[Florasun]

calexandre - your L'Hiver Poste is absolutely beautiful. Perfect format for this design too!


ok, a quick look with Trois Mosquetaires. didnt style it, just threw it on.

Even just 'throwing it on' you look elegant. If you can wear red and yellow then you might try CW 06 of MetM. (It is prune and gold but similar color family?)

This is not a Ledoux scarf, but I like the knot MYH showed on her "90 casual wear thread"

Melora your scarf is a natural with this shirt! Love it!

How did I miss this!? It is gorgeous! Quite suitable for a green goddess.

Thank you so much Florasun! I'm so thrilled with it

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.

Thank you for the information sparklelisab! It is fabulous for someone like me that is newer to the Hermes world of silk Your own Pavois looks lovely on you, too

Wow Croisette I am in awe and speechless! What a magnificent collection....Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm just wondering. Do you have a favorite or two of his designs?

Here is Esmerelda modeling my only Ledoux, Musee. Excuse my sloppy rendition of the Robee knot. If anyone has figured out how to keep the "pleats" straight please let me know! oops this photo is HUGE.

This is so lovely Florasun

 

[Greengoddess8]

So, lets see ... how many birthday presents does that make that you have bought for yourself this year? I like the way you think - too much of a good thing is .... GREAT!


Thank you, dear Croisette!

I was wondering the same thing Florasun How many Bday gifts does that make Elaine. I am trying to learn from you on this as well

Finally back home to play with my scarves.

I know I added a few ages by wearing a scarf this way, but gosh the scarf is too pretty to tie away in bias...


Isn't she so pretty?

 

[Greengoddess8]

Hmmmm.... I guess you're right. Daimyo was sort of an early birthday present.

But, you see (are you ready for the rationalization?) Daimyo was a scarf birthday present. What I just bought is my jewelry birthday present.

Oopsie! Sorry for the humongous size of the photo. I have no idea how/why that happened!

I LOVE these earrings Elaine! What a perfect jewelry birthday gift! And, you can't forget about a birthday bag

I'm a little late, but lanit asked for a mod pic of my mousseline "Rencontre océane", so here it is!

I love this design! I haven't seen it in a mosseline mod. Thanks for posting

Chestnutty, this looks gorgeous! Such a lovely wintry colorway

 

[Greengoddess8]

Ditto Lanit (above). Shoes are great too!

Croisette!! Gasp gasp! I have to post this before you do: "La Marine a Rames"; a collaboration between Ledoux and Vladimir Rybaltchenko

I think this is my only Ledoux, but it's a favorite in my drawer: a PM cashmere L'Hiver en Poste from back in the (IMO) good old days of the rolled hem. This one ties so beautifully. I think my favorite part is the tiny little white polka-dots of snow falling at the top border.

Jahna your La Marine a Rames is especially fascinating being a collaboration!
Calexandre, I love your L'hiver en Poste! Especially the snow
Croisette I love this CE on you!
