Wearable Publicity; Having A Scarf Designed to Accompany a Book

Wearable technology may be all the rage but wearable publicity is a lot more fun! I must be one of the luckiest of authors as I have had a scarf designed especially to accompany my latest book, Les Parisiennes; How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved and Died in the 1940’s.

The beautiful limited edition scarf Emma has designed for Les Parisiennes has at its heart a woman on a bicycle since women in wartime Paris went everywhere on bicycles – private cars were impossible to maintain and there was no fuel.

There are many other symbols in Emma’s scarf such as the caged bird with plumage in the three colours of the French tricolour which was a brooch designed by Cartier to represent how Parisians felt during the Occupation. The Liberation came and the the bird was freed, as the cage doors were opened. As I wear my scarf I shall proclaim to the world Parisian women certainly know how to do fashion.

Les Parisiennes Printed Silk Twill Scarf is available to purchase now.

Authors such as Evelyn Waugh, Nancy Mitford and Dorothy Parker write in technicolour, making their characters jump of the page and into your everyday life. Inspiring me to illustrate them.
