Scarves and Shawls
Scarves and shawls occupy the space between textile and accessory and merit their own spotlight. Their flat dimensions allow for rich exploration of materials through creative weaving, printing, embroidery, and other forms of embellishment. The Fox Collection is particularly fortunate to include examples of highly prized early 19th‑century Kashmiri shawls alongside innovative contemporary designs by NUNO.
