Style Tips: How to style Dior’s new Fall-Winter 2021-2022 silk scarves

Bringing a touch of elegance and audacity, scarves shine in the Dior Fall-Winter 2021-2022 women’s ready-to-wear collection. An ideal opportunity to take a peek behind the scenes of a savoir-faire reinvented with passion. Toile de Jouy, houndstooth, flowers, signs of the zodiac… The House’s emblematic codes mingle with works designed for Dior by the Italian artist Pietro Ruffo. These ornamentations are transposed onto fabric in a first, essential step, colorization, thanks to the method of pen engraving, an artisan reconstitutes in watercolor all the shades of the drawing. These poetic sketches and this brilliant palette are then applied to exceptional silk in the House’s Italian workshops.

Unrolled in one long ribbon, white silk is embellished with enchanting illustrations that vary depending on whether printing is by silkscreen or inkjet. In the next phase, silk fabrics are repeatedly passed through a halo of steam, then washed in successive baths until the ideal look and feel had been achieved. Once hand-cut, the squares receive their final hand-frayed or -rolled finishes. Infinitely meticulous gestures, expressions of the very particular attention to the art of detail that makes Dior scarves so refined. 

Here are the style tips:

Worn around the waist on a jacket or pants, the silk scarf adds a touch of sophistication and sensuality. The play of materials and contrasts enhances any silhouette with a touch of audacity.

Worn folded in a triangle, rolled or knotted, it elegantly displays its motifs, symbols of self-assertion.

Exuding a casual vibe, the scarf, worn folded in a triangle on the head, adds a joyful touch to a silhouette.

Precious and iconic, the silk scarf sets off any hair do with refinement.

Delicately tied on the handles of a bag or subtly wrapped around them, the scarf, with its interplay of patterns and colors, adds personality to any accessory.
