Scarves ........The Fall 2016 Scarves........

[Luvbolide]

I like the grey, you'll still have the smashing blue eyes!

Those blue eyes are great, aren't they? I definitely need to see this one IRL!

The designs back then were so wonderful and like you I ended up doubling on my first CSGM, I found a LFASDV in Noisette to keep the black one company.
I bought a Sieste this Season which means that now I have seven shawls and that's more than enough, so I'm trying hard not to look too hard at this Season's Atelier Dallet which is so beautiful!

I love that Les Femmes - I have the fuchsia one but so wished for another cw that would look good on me. I love the Noisette - bet that is lovely on you!

Thank you Luvbolide! I hope you are doing well!!! I have one Kachinas 90 which I was given by a sweet woman who entered into Assisted Living. She knew how much I adore H scarves, so the 90 in that pattern and the "turkey scarf" came home with me. When I took a closer look at the Kachinas scarf, I saw that KO sign it! She had gone to an art opening and had him sign her scarf with a thin Sharpie marker. I was so excited! Since then, my DH and I purchased one of his small sheep paintings and have had the opportunity to meet him on two occasions. Very shy, dear man.

Wow, what a treasure your Kachinas is - and how lovely of the woman to give it to you. She must have been so happy to give it to someone who truly appreciates it as you do. I will look forward to hearing which Kachinas you add this season. I got two of mine in one season and had to have a long talk with myself about it. But I have truly loved and worn them - which is more than I can say for several of mine that remain unworn!

Hi Luvbolide! Wanted to come back and say that you are my Kachinas Hero! WOW! THREE???? I agree that the 140 sized format is better than my 90, too! I also have a summer silk 140cm that came out a few years ago. Love the colors of that one...vibrant turquoise, yellow, fuchsia, and brown against a white background. I need to get that out and wear it more. Are you getting any of the reissue Kachinas shawls this season? I am still in awe of your collection of 3 Kachinas shawls!

I should be embarrassed to admit this, but I do hope to add another, maybe 2 more. I will need to see the colors IRL first, though. Having ones already that I love means that I have to both love any new ones and they have to be flattering colors.

Even though KO designs broke all of my initial rules, I have become rather addicted now!!

 

[Luvbolide]

I love this too. I'm drawn to CW 04, but want to see IRL. There's also one extra CW on the French site. Here's the painting on which the design in based.

Thanks for posting this pic - I always love seeing the artists' inspirations. I like the fisherman - too bad he isn't on the scarf...

Can't wait to see it tied. as a Cal grad, I have to at least give this one a try.

Oops. Thanks for showing it tied.

Go Bears!!

 

[Luvbolide]

p.s. In the photos above, the middle one with the lazy cowboy tie and mostly polka dots showing is the closest to the real-life color. My iPhone is bad at capturing blues accurately!

Thanks so much for all of the pix - I hadn't really noticed the polka dots in the flat versions - love them!

I have no pix to accompany this post, as I didn't buy a thing (even after the very kind SAs helped me lookey-lou for about an hour!!)
The CSGMs Dans L'Atelier two light c/ws that are on the US H.com site are not quite as I expected. Well in particular the c/w that I thought had a warmer background (with the dark red hem) was lovely but not what it appeared to be online.
The rose poudre/parme/beige c/w 31 of Lalbhai was really beautiful, as was a light blue c/w 25 of Lalbhai.
Not sure why I'm posting this as it's all opinion and not the least informative. Other than the lesson in all of it is, as has been mentioned by others, the colors IRL are not accurately enough depicted in H.com photos. So you may find something appealing or not online, and have the opposite reaction when you see it IRL.

Thanks! I think it has a ton of versatility due to the polka dots and how the bear is printed at an angle. I tied it a couple of different ways to demonstrate.

CASSE EN INDE CASHMERE GM - I may have missed some posts but can not find a single photo...are there any infos about cw's or/and at least some photos so far?

 

[frou frou]

I debated over using the expression «comic book» and hedged my bets by also saying graphic. I was not trying to be pejorative in any way just descriptive and «comic book» is spot on
But, a good example are Toutsy's coconuts: the almond shaped things in the corners of the vintage design Aloha and the recent Mythiques Phoenix. Vastly different look with (Aloha) and without (MP) the detailed shading on the coconuts
View attachment 3410243 Aloha - see shading on orange coconut
View attachment 3410244 Mythiques
The electric colors in this cw of MP also add a graphic - dare I say «comic book look »

It's good to see these side by side. I'm increasingly aware of the flatness of most of the current scarves. Under the Waves for example. It was made desirable for me by the design itself and the gorgeous colourations. .
I have one so obviously love it , but it could sit alongside much cheaper scarves in terms of design. The current graphic scarves don't have the same magic for me, so a Season I'll pass on.
The silk of the 90cms is a separate issue, still fabulously luscious.
I do find many of the detailed designs rather ageing but, although I don't wear them as often as the graphic ones now, I'm keeping them for later [ whenever that may be]

Think of Apparat des PLaines which I really regret not having bought now my favourite colour way has gone. It had massively intricate detail and shading , but the great border and colourations made it modern,beautiful and very wearable . A true Hermès masterpiece and worth every penny …I need one !
.I think that Hermès will continue to roll out both types of designs moving with the times ,and try to cater to the broadest possible audience.

I'm difficult to please with scarves and shawls , I don't want a huge collection and am very fussy about what I'll buy now.
To date none of this Season's offering s have inspired me .
But last Season was my best ever,I loved so many designs a and formats and in multiple colour ways.

I agree. I have reversed my opinions quite a few times when seeing a scarf IRL. That's why modelling photos on these forums are so helpful.
