Worn equally by women and men, the scarf - called a "fichu" or "handkerchief" until the 19th century - has a variety of uses as its shapes. Before becoming the elegant accessory that finishes off an outfit, it protects and warms us, covers our head and neck, and serves as a rallying point or a sign of distinction. Once forgotten at the bottom of our wardrobes, the scarf is now back in fashion: in boutiques, on the catwalks, in capsule collections... All couturiers create them, all brands use them. This book tells the story of this accessory from Antiquity to the present day and presents nearly 300 pieces classified by pattern, with anonymous scarves alongside the most famous squares.
