Worn equally by men and women, the scarf – called “fichu” or “handkerchief” until the 19th century – has a variety of uses and forms. Before becoming an elegant accessory , it used to finish an outfit, protect and warm us, cover our head and our neck, made sign of rallying or of distinction. Once forgotten at the back of our wardrobes, the scarf is now back in fashion: in the boutiques, on the catwalks, in capsule collections… All designers create them, all brands use them. This book tells the story of this accessory from antiquity to the present day and presents nearly 300 pieces classified by design, with anonymous scarves alongside the most famous ones.
