Jazzmine Long-Multi

Designer’s note:

As a designer, I often dreamt of joining forces with another artist, in order to create unique pieces aiming to convey shared emotions and aesthetics. My dream came true when I met NaNaomi, an amazing multicultural paper cutting artist with Japanese and Brazilian roots. Her work was a pure inspiration to me, so you can imagine my joy when she agreed to give me her beautiful jasmine cutouts and granted me the freedom to incorporate them in my designs while constantly exchanging ideas and opinions. I always wanted to create a series of black and white graphic style scarves with pops of colour. NaNaomi’s jasmine cutouts gave me the perfect starting point. On this scarf the jasmines are combined  with a naive, ethnic-inspired motif as well as my favourite recurrent theme of irregular dots that symbolize abundance. The different themes are cut in irregular shapes and playfully ‘glued’ together like a collage that derives inspiration from Kintsugi: the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art!

Fabric:

This cotton-silk fabric has a shiny finish and a silky touch.
Warm enough for a mild winter without making you sweat yet fresh and cool for summer.
How much better can it get?
Winter, spring, summer or fall, that’s an all-weather scarf y’all!

Care:

Gentle wash till 40°C
Do not bleach
Do not drum dry
Line dry in the shade
Iron at medium temperature

Note:

For the rolled hems we use orange sewing thread on all colours except black and white.
Dimensions may slightly vary from piece to piece as the fabric is rolled by hand
in order to be sewn in the sewing machine.
This is part of what makes every scarf unique!
