A Valentino silk scarf carrying a full menagerie on a dark ground: a lion, an owl, flamingos, parrots, cacti in between, and yes, unicorns. Drawn fine and packed close like a natural history plate, except natural history never had the nerve. It is the kind of drawing Valentino does when it stops being solemn for a season, precise enough to frame, strange enough that nobody asks if it is this year’s print.
At two meters long and 65 wide this is a proper scarf, not a carré, so it wraps, drapes and knots without rationing the print. Silk this size also solves the season problem: light enough for a warm evening, enough fabric to mean something when it cools.
Very good condition. Two meters of silk to disappear into.
