2022 Phantasm Wool Scarf Collection

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2022

A wool scarf with bold geometric patterning is displayed draped around the neck and torso of a dark charcoal gray mannequin, which wears a sage green blazer and matching skirt against a soft gray gradient background. Beginning at the neckline and scanning downward, the scarf features warm colors including a vivid tomato red like ripe summer fruit, bands of cream resembling natural wool, amber tones suggesting autumn honey, and deep black providing grounding contrast. The pattern consists of vertical stripes of varying widths that create a rhythmic linear progression, these stripes interrupted by bold checkerboard sections where red and black squares alternate in a manner reminiscent of classic game boards, the geometric blocks appearing primarily in the middle and lower portions of the visible scarf length. The fabric texture suggests soft wool with slight surface fuzziness one might feel as gentle warmth against skin, while delicate fringe visible at the scarf edges indicates fiber movement that would sway with walking. The sage green blazer beneath feels smooth and structured like fine gabardine, its muted cool tone creating a quiet backdrop that allows the scarf's warmth to sing forward. The mannequin form presents a three-quarter view with one arm slightly bent, suggesting a casual yet poised stance, the headless torso form focusing attention entirely upon the garments and accessory. Lighting throughout feels soft and even like an overcast day, creating gentle shadows in fabric folds without harsh contrast, the overall atmosphere suggesting a refined showroom environment. The scarf drapes in an asymmetrical arrangement, one end falling longer than the other, creating dynamic diagonal movement across the vertical composition, the pattern continuing uninterrupted across dimensional curves and folds.

Gender-neutral pure wool scarves with unique digitally-printed contemporary patterns produced using a bespoke software programmed called Mov.i.see that uses body movement to transform digital data and reveal organic details not possible solely by computer programming. Mov.i.see enables the designer to create asymmetrical and non-repeat patterns, resulting in multifaceted and playful scarves that can be worn in different ways according to the mood or occasion, and are unlike any other products in the textiles or fashion accessories market.
