What Mairi Helena Silk Scarf should I wear? Find out with Colour Elements!

I love the versatility of textile print and how it can be applied in so many forms across interiors as well as into fashion. Alongside my velvet fabrics, cushions and wallpapers I also enjoy crossing over to the fashion world with my Mairi Helena Silk Scarves.

Supporting Smart Shopping

Last year on the blog I wrote an article on sustainable fashion and why we must look up to the fashion movement, following the global celebration of Fashion Revolution week. This was triggered by my concern with the way in which we are living in an increasingly disposable ‘throw-away society’. This disposable attitude to clothes is becoming environmentally damaging, not to mention exploitative. (Who watched the latest series of Blue Planet and were as shocked as I was with the way in which human waste, in particular plastic, are leaving a very concerning mark on the environment?!)And so when it comes to ways to help with reducing environmental pollution, caused by over production and disposal then I am ALL EARS.I'm sure we are all guilty of having one of not several items of clothes in our wardrobe that we don't wear. How does this happen?! A splash decision perhaps? A lack of confidence in what suits us?Colour LoverFor all those who know me, you'll be familiar that I'm an avid colour lover. As much as I love designing with colour and applying it to interiors, it can be tricky to know what colours to wear and importantly, what suits us. I love blues, teals and flourishes of gold. But I always get in a dither over which one of my silk scarves I should wear? There's always a debate between Cobalt Blue Thistle Silk Scarf and match with light whites and earthy blues. Or how about my Fine Art Pink Thistle Silk Scarf for a Summery flourish of rich pinks and peaches.
