Here's my contribution to Fall. And to Tyger Tyger... Thanks to a lovely H angel, I was able to get my hands on this baby. These are the pics she sent to me and I haven't taken any photos myself. But what I love about this one is that the tiger is true to its colors... Something about certain animals that I like to keep with their natural coloration. However, you know H.... Makes me change the way I think after a while. Lol ;). Bc I do love greengoddess' Rose vif cw as well. And I love s'mom's midnight looking cw.. The white flowers and the face pop on that one. Love it.

Cw 01 blue/vert/roux. Will go nicely with my malachite B. And Goldie B :). And my recent love for lilac... Look at these flowers.

We're now twins!! :yahoo:
 
I have just seen the bonkers Ugo Gattoni designed scarf in my local boutique. It is called Hippopolis 'horse city' and is a fantasy design of a classically inspired city with a massive marble horse sculpture in the middle forming part of the backbone of the city. Sounds crazy, looks crazy, is crazy but is also crazy gorgeous. The one I saw was a riot of pastel colours so not for me so I am waiting to see what other colours it arrives in.

Also saw Sieste au Paradis as featured slightly earlier in this thread and my first view of Collections Imperiales. This is a scarf that I was not expecting to like but, if you have any appreciation of oriental design, it is a feast for the eyes. The colourway I saw featured a mid-green with an orangy brick colour plus the outline of the pattern was picked out with gold ink. Not for me but the design merits very close scrutiny for its beauty.

I also saw an unbelievably lady-like recolouration of Paddock. Beige background, pink contrast hem (!) and the people's clothes and jockeys' silks picked out occasionally with great bright splashes of bold colour - quite a rainbow going on. Not a design that excites me but any racegoer should love it.

There was also one of the 70cm scarves which I haven't seen featured anywhere yet. It showed the Original Trocadero Jazz Band - I think you can just see a corner of this on one of the press day photos. I noticed that the silk was silk twill rather than the 'antique' sort that we have seen in 70s over recent years. In my view the silk twill takes the dye better and gives the design more of a sharper edge.

No pictures to share ( I am completely incompetent with cameras and phones) I'm afraid but will post the Hippopolis I choose ( almost a dead certainty now) as soon as I can. Still waiting to see Zenobie.
I saw Hippopolis today...:loveeyes::hbeat: You are so right, Les Tambours. It is crazy, gorgeous and a wonder to behold. Full of details: teeny flying horses, chubby putti in a flying chariot..so much to look at, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. The huge jumping horse in the center is thrilling. I saw a white or cream background, accents of dk navy and deep lavender with a bright turquoise contrast hem. It was CW12, I think. It almost came home with me but the boutique had ordered a good number and I want to see another CW (white/blk/gray) before I throw down my card. Oh, also saw Paddock in white/black/gray...lovely.

BTW, my lovely SA told me the stories of the scarves are returning (not sure where!).

Yes! My SA mentioned this as well -- the scarf books (I think starting this fall) will once again include the stories. I never understood why they stopped doing this and am so happy the stories are coming back. :smile1:
