Although there are different ways of interpreting [and naming] this trend, you can’t deny that it’s out there. I am quite fond of the term foulard, although I’m not sure it covers the whole breadth of the style. It’s part scarf, part menswear, and has a strong cross-over with the geometric styling of Islamic patterns. I love seeing how these designers have incorporated such a classic element into their spring collections.
