Boho 70s Mademoiselle Scarf Dressing

This is a very beautiful boho fashion editorial on scarf dressing from the October 1975 issue of Mademoiselle magazine. Scarf dressing can mean dressing in scarves or dressing of scarves. The idea was to take colorful, folk art scarves and dress them up in gypsy style. You could twist, tie, drape or wear the scarves. You could even make a sheik’s kaffiyeh of challis scarves.

The interesting thing is that I have bagfuls of these vintage scarves. One idea for 2020 is to make scarves into face masks. Very current and de rigueur, don’t you think? 🙂
