glamour has become at once stronger
and more relaxed. the elegance of retro,
the ease of sportswear and the fierceness
of rap have collided to create something
that incorporates a little of each.
the new glamour has arrived.
the current rage for vintage has also
had an undeniable impact.
nonchalance - that's glamour!
for those who are passionate about and
enjoy collecting and wearing vintage
fashion pieces from the 50's, 60's and 70's,
designboom offers you a carefully
chosen selection of highly decorative
original 1950's souvenir travel scarfs.
the very hot look for this 2001 summer.
if you don't know what a souvenir scarf is,
imagine a selection of postcards from
your trip to, say, venice, printed on fabric.
generously sized square scarves in silk,
cotton, polyester, nylon, rayon...
beautiful colors with great motifs,
including map, great buildings, palm trees,
flamingos, tigers and cowboys.
a reassuring, popular and evocative
'tourist' approach which gave rise to a real
art form, striving to discover the
'differences' and peculiarities of different
countries, creating a tradition which is still
popular today. a piece of cloth to keep,
memories of memories or souvenirs of
possible holidays.
the souvenir scarf has become part of
our collective memory.
