SILK SCARVES – STRAIGHT FROM THE STYLE BOOKS OF THE QUEEN

The one time Queen makes it to a fashion show; the aftermath can hardly be ordinary. Her influence has been absorbed into fashion trends across continents, as the return of the silk scarves. Never before, were so many silk scarves spotted in a single season.

It rather has been the royalty’s favourite fashion accessory, with Her Majesty sporting beautiful, printed scarves to several public affairs; be it meeting the president of the Superpower or the usual sight-seeing around Britain. This season boasted an ode to The Queen’s most favoured style signature accessory during her 64-year-reign; the silk headscarf.

The Paris-born, London-based designer played with the similar experiments with the silk scarves, though she pumped her final look, a Nineties scarf top, with hundreds of Swarovski crystals. It’s a trend that has stayed afloat on the surface for a few seasons, with vetements and Balenciaga its biggest proponents, but this season looks to go front page.

“I added a few Queeny touches,” Richard Quinn

It was imminent that the notable fashion designer, added touches of his benefactor’s personal style on his fashion creations. Quinn’s autumn collection in London has large blown up prints on silks, forming pompous handkerchief-hem dresses and models wearing headscarves under their chins, paying ode to the Elizabeth-style.
