'Killer Queen' is inspired by the song, perhaps the most melodic, by the rock group Queen. While someone who adores flowers, elegant dresses and the various shades of pink is not the most archetypal rock fan, especially of a song that was recorded more than a decade before my birth, but western music can be slow to reach the interior of Brazil, and even with Brazilian music I prefer the old stuff.
I begin the design process for my scarves by painting the individual motives by hand in watercolour, and then scanning these into Illustrator software to replicate across the whole design and add simpler elements such as lines and background colours. The design is then digitally printed on to luxurious silk twill (100% silk), and buying the hem is hand rolled and stitched.
The scarf is a fairly generous sized square neck scarf, measuring 35" x 35" (about 90cm x 90cm). While I make sure that there are no creases before I carefully fold for shipping, some may develop in transit, but these can be ironed out on a warm setting with no steam, or will smooth out with time and use in any case.
All orders are sent in a presentation box as shown in the photos, perfect for a gift or a treat for yourself!
