The Story of Acrylic (Fibers)

I know this might seem strange and many think the term "acrylic" is associated with paints or plastic. Acrylic is a great fiber that is often substituted for wool, cotton, or cashmere. It is so soft and is great if you have any allergies or aversions to wool. Science does play a part in the soft fibers that acrylic is made up of and well as the story behind it! Friends, here is the story of acrylic (fibers)!

The Shapes of Scarves

Designers such as Alexander McQueen have brought back the square with an edge, skulls that is. The square also makes the best head scarf and create more design appeal when folded on it's bias. You can also flip the design and wear as a triangle with the design covering your neckline. This can be such a great accessory becuase it actually appears as a fancy blouse underneath.

The History of the Scarf

carves are full of memories and never go out of style. They are timeless and can make any blank palate full of life and fashion. My friends, I am excited to share the story of the scarf with you.

Scarves were first used for hygiene purposes early on in Ancient Rome. They were not intended for dress or to accessorize but rather served a purpose. Can you imagine? Function with no fashion?

The "Witches Hat"

Happy Halloween my fellow style historians! I thought this would be the perfect time to share the story of the witches hat. Have you wondered where the witches hat originated from?

I think the most intriuging fact is that this hat was born from folklore. There are stories about witches keeping organs inside of their hats and using for magical spells. Old Stories claim witches were only meant for evil and the hat was used to intensify their scary appearance. Good thing it's all fiction.
