Wearing a large format

A 140 silk square, a 120 × 180 cotton-and-silk stole: two ways of inhabiting an image.

Wearing a large format

A large format is not knotted, it is draped. The 140 silk square, folded on the bias, holds the shoulder and follows movement; opened out, it becomes a garment in its own right.

The 120 × 180 cotton-and-silk stole has a denser drape. It is worn against the skin like a travelling cloth: wrapped, thrown over the shoulders, worn as a dress.

Care

Dry cleaning is preferred. Iron at low temperature on the reverse side, with no direct steam on the print. Store flat or rolled, away from light.
