Well I'm not going to sound very original because am a HUGE Alice Shirley fan having every design she's done for women (and would consider Grrr in the right cw) and so scarf sisters to so many of you. Love my Annie Faivre scarves of course, though I have less than lots of regulars and I am totally gaga over so many Aline Honoré's designs being proud scarf sisters to quite a few scarfies here, including many of
lanit's beautiful examples.
I can't decide who is my
absolute favourite because I am a fickle child, so all I can say it depends.
I wear my favourite scarf everyday,
it's just a different favourite scarf.
I will therefore choose
another favourite,
Dimitri R or Dimitri Rybaltchenko. I just find his designs so diverse, mostly witty and of often graphically clever and he designs for H in so many ways. I have missed out on some I wanted including
Cheval Surprise (no good cws for me)
Hola Flamenca! which I must get one day
Galop Volant which is so airy and
Photo Finish (couldn't decide on a cw, too
much choice) and some designs are not quite me but still fascinating.
Here is
Minuit, (the TBC part of
Quand Soudain and another I don't have) of which I have 3 cws, all 70s. In this design I see SuperH coming to the rescue, giving me a little strength, beauty and purpose to my everyday days, often pressured, mundane and unrelenting. My scarves remind me none of 'this' really matters, only nature, craftsmanship and artistry. Commerce is a part of it but to be able to wear such tactile 'art' is worth every penny (don't tell H!)
Another design from the same season (SS14)
Les Facéties de Pégase
I love Pegasus, who flew from the slain Gorgon, and of course he carried the god Hermes between the world of here and there, reality and fantasy, life and death. Pegasus is the fantasy and spirit version of the horse. I find this design so dynamic and I love this very DR of now you see me and now I'm just an abstract pattern
and for some reason this makes me think of my father as he was born the year of the Fire Horse
