Gwendolyn in a Granny dress, and flowers

Here's my favorite Los Angeles singer/songwriter, Gwendolyn, backstage at the Bootleg Bar where she was performing with her country/western band. This scarf I made from a floral corduroy that's probably from the 70s matches quite well with Gwendolyn's 70s granny dress. Do you watch the show Weeds? Gwendolyn makes some of the music for that show. If you like it, check out her latest album, Bright Light. And you too can have a scarf like Gwendolyn's. I will be posting soon about which craft shows The Scarf Moment will be selling at.

Denim and Silk a la Martin Margiela

This scarf was inspired by one I saw at Maison Martin Margiela; a simple length of blue denim on one side and silk satin on the other. The MM scarf had fringe but I decided to leave mine plain (mine is a little less expensive too!). I've made a few versions in different shades of blue and in different widths. Our model today for this French inspired scarf is Frenchman Art Bleek, a talented musician, producer and DJ, and one of the creators of Zoowax and their catchy song Nine to Five. Watch the video here.

Guest blogger Rick, and a colorful striped scarf!

My friend Rick is not only good-looking, he's a professional writer too. I'm not bad looking but I can't say I'm a great writer so I asked Rick, who is this post's model, to write his own copy:

Greetings fellow scarf-wearers!

My name is Rick Galiher. And I make an effort to try something new everyday. I normally wear grey and other faded colors to blend in, but my buddy Charles convinced me to try sporting his spiffy, striped scarf that is almost as colorful as my life. 

Just in this year I have: 

-Received a Best Actor trophy for my portrayal of Dracula

-Dressed as the Easter Bunny and hiked up Runyon Canyon with my dog, Henry

-Interviewed and promoted Angelyne The Billboard Queen for 3 months

-Collected more low-brow artwork than at any point in my life

-Commissioned artists for the first time

-Co-curated an art show at Copro Gallery that will open on December 10th, my 38th birthday

-Written a line of greetings cards and postcards available in December

-Worked as an advertising copywriter

-Gone on my now-yearly 2 week eating binge at the best LA restaurants with my mother

-Begun work on my first screenplay

-Purchased a handmade scarf that has brightened my whole outlook on life

Look me up sometime at web.mac.com/rickgaliher

 

Oh, and by the way, the scarf is made of striped cotton on one side and purple raw silk on the other.

Sally Go 'round the Roses

The Jaynetts had a hit in in 1963 called Sally Go 'round the Roses. But here we have the roses going 'round Sally. Our model Sally is wearing a new scarf made from vintage fabric that might possibly be from the era of the Jaynetts hit song: roses in many colors on a green background, in this case with red silk on the reverse. I also made some with green silk on the back. Sally works at Svenska Mobler, where the Scarf Moment had a trunk show last year.
