 Idol loves Swash’s elaborate prints, graphic finesse and colourful palette. Central Saint Martin’s grad’s, Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka, the design duo behind the sartorial success that is Swash have made their names as the go-to fashion-forward scarf make. Now with a clothing line, Swash’s SS11 collection has stolen Idol’s heart.


Stocked worldwide (in Libertys, Barneys, Opening Ceremony etc.) they take heed of trends – see there seventies flare, but keep their strong distinctive style – using whimsical patterns and eccentric prints. Swash scarfs are silk (sometimes silk and knit) carres (French for Square – the archetypal scarf shape, in case you were wondering…)

Illustrated and colorful, Idol wants to wrap theirs into a turban, tie it around a bag and carry it everywhere.
