Carre. A Vintage Scarf Collection

[Benoit Pierre Emery]

An encyclopaedic collection of the carré (or silk scarf) amassed by Benoit Pierre Emery. Emery has been collecting scarves for almost two decades. Over two volumes a selection of 6,5000 scarves are illustrated with a graphic grid-like approach, capturing the patterns, colours and textures of the fashion accessory. Some of the scarves are by renowned fashion houses such as Dior, Hermès, Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Balenciaga, and by famous artists including Picasso, Sonia Delaunay, Victor Vasarely, Enzo Mari, but many are anonymous, being chosen purely for their aesthetic appeal. An essential reference and a perfect fashion gift.
