Klimt Red Poshmina Silk Stole

DESIGNER'S NOTES

The 'Klimt Red' poshmina^TM stole is inspired by a unique element seen in the oil on canvas painting Hope II (1907 - 08) by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918). In the famous work, a female figure in a gown that bears the distinctive pattern, gazes down towards her enlarged belly and a skull that is depicted amongst the fabric. Beneath her more females figures are presented with their faces similarly downturned.

For this poshmina^TM the original polka dot pattern, faithful to the colours from the source painting, have been printed on a glossy satin silk, with a brushed silk lining on the reverse that offers the feel of cashmere. Each scarf is individually hand finished.
