CHORD is a textured scarf featuring pleated sections that make it easy to style and drape in a variety of ways. This time, my conceptual approach was a musical one: the pleated sections and zigzag lines evoke the shape of a concertina, while the dotted and striped sections are reminiscent of notes and staves. The sample shown highlights a subtle and elegant look, but this design invites you to play with contrasts and colors — to strike your own individual tune.
