Awesomely Outrageous Scenes on Silk Scarves by Karen Mabon

So, earlier this week I shared some illustrative scarves by Nathalie Lété, and now it’s these silk beauties by artist and designer Karen Mabon. They’re whimsical as well as narrative and character driven – terms you normally wouldn’t use to describe scarves. Karen’s outrageous, busy scenes feature things such eating at a diner, robbing a candy store, and a sleight of hand. It’s totally not what you’d expect to be on a scarf and makes each piece a wearable work of art.

On her website, it says that “Karen revels in producing work that is accessible, individual and fun.” That’s exactly what I love about these scarves. This style isn’t for stodgy old ladies anymore!

I found Karen’s work via the online shop Whim. Check it out for other awesome goodies. I swoon at their sweaters!
