19th century: the elegant era of silk scarves

In the past 200 years, the development of silk scarves in Europe is almost in its infancy. Until the end of the 18th century, Napoleon led a French army to Egypt from the sea, hoping to cut off the commercial lifeline of Britain to India at that time, but unexpectedly introduced shawls to France, making shawls the most important accessories for 19th century clothing. But at that time, shawls were very expensive and only a few people could afford them. During the Anglo-French War, France could not import shawls, so it began to imitate them. Since then, in the past hundred years, shawls with complex colors have almost become a part of clothes. Shawls are not only popular in France. Britain, which has frequent contacts with Asia, is also deeply influenced by it. With the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution, the industrial development in continental Europe was slow, and machine-made shawls and scarves were produced in large quantities. Originally a luxury exclusive to nobles, it began to play an important role in the wardrobe of ordinary women.

Until the twentieth century, women fully demonstrated their wisdom in using scarves and began to accompany women to the streets and enter the workplace.

In 1960s, silk scarves designed by famous designers and brands appeared one after another, and silk scarves became the development accessories of clothing brands. In the 1970s, the hippie-style floral headscarves, big scarves or long shawls, which are indispensable in winter, were very popular. After experiencing the folk customs in the 1960s and 1970s, designers are looking for new creative inspiration. By the 1980s, silk scarves had become a necessary clothing accessory for women, and all kinds of old and new silk scarves were tied together, making silk scarves the most changeable accessories. In the 1990s, the retro trend returned to the fashion world. The popular story of silk scarves in the 20th century, like a dynastic history, is staged one after another. After a hundred years of development, the functionality of silk scarves has exceeded imagination, from clothing, scarves, shawls to belts, headscarves, hair bands, and even can be used as watchbands, tied to handbags as decorations, or pure artistic decorations. 2 1 century, the silk scarf revolution continues.
