When I fall in love… with a scarf
I have just come to discover the joy of wearing scarf.
But I haven’t got one. Despite having a clear idea on what sort of scarf is for me.
It has to be sweet but chic, and nothing less than a smooth, glide over your skin silk scarf… and I fell in love with, Hermes. But my pay cheque opposed the idea.
After weeks of contemplating and researching, I just had to convince myself that I could use one great scarf, and one is all it needs be.
The challenge to decide which one Hermes scarf to buy turn out to be a great challenge. I was initially all smitten with Ballade de Heian, simply because I felt I could relate to the Heian period in Japan, the fact that it was the Tang’s Chinese that poured the arts and literature into Japan. As I study the drawing on the scarf carefully, I find myself distressingly bothered with the drawing, where the figures featured are predominantly males. I find that unfitted to the theme.
Just as I was in dismay, I spotted La Femme aux Semelles de Vent in black. My heart pounds, my pupils dilate, there was no question that she is the one.
It tells a story of a woman of adventure, with a great thirst for philosophy, literature and linguistics, and who travelled a far to see, learn and live at the Far East before anyone of her time. Alexandra David-Néel is a legend, and I cannot be inspired more.
