Orange and white in clean stripes, on a compact square of silk. A graphic counterpoint to the floral and houndstooth prints more often associated with the house.
This Christian Dior scarf dates from the 1980s. It is a small square in 100% silk, printed with orange and white stripes, and measures 50 x 50 cm.
A graphic print on a compact square.
By 1950 Dior's licensing programme had put the house name on dozens of accessories, scarves among them. Through the 1980s, under Marc Bohan, artistic director from 1961 to 1989, silk scarves continued to carry Dior design to a wide international customer.
The 1980s favoured strong, saturated colour, and bold graphic prints appeared on accessories as much as on clothing. A small silk square offered an easy way to add that colour to an outfit.
The orange and white stripes give the scarf a clear, graphic character, well suited to its small format. Slight wear is consistent with age, and the photographs are true to condition.
Clear colour, compact format.
Small silk squares remain versatile accessories, worn at the neck, in the hair or on a bag. Dior examples from the 1980s add the interest of the house's history.
Vintage Dior silk scarves are widely collected and worn, including smaller squares.
Silk marks easily and strong colours can fade, so scarves with clear colour are valued.
Bold, graphic prints are closely associated with 1980s accessories and remain a reference in vintage dressing.
