Culture Clash- collaged cashmere scarf

Culture clash

I’m making cashmere scarves again. We’ve had such odd weather here in Southern California- ranging from the 50s to the 80s within a couple week’s time. Staying in touch via Facebook and Flickr reminds me that it’s still really cold in many parts of the world! This scarf pretty much epitomizes my love of the mix…in fashion, design, food…just about everything!

I designed this scarf from cashmere and cotton remnants salvaged from recycled sweaters. I love digging through my box of “stuff” and adding bits and pieces of silk applique, felted wool, etc.

Salvaged labels on a vintage silk scarf

Whenever I redesign a garment, I remove the labels. I’ve been saving them up for a while and wanted to make myself something with them. Today I used them to create a border on a vintage silk scarf. I have named it “Label Wh0re”.

It’s available in most Barnes & Noble bookstores. The article includes an interview by Rice Freeman-Zachary and eight page photo spread.
