WARGAMES

The scarf is both a simple piece of fabric and a complex accessory with countless uses. This collection combines hand-designed and digitally printed scarves with a secondary accessory in metal that gives the user novel and contemporary ways to wear the scarf. The design is inspired by the current war in Europe and the depiction of war reflected in children's toys. The project examines the divide between the seriousness of war and the play's images of war. Can a scarf design be both an image of the times and a timeless, functioning accessory?
