Alexander McQueen skull scarf (August 2004 - November 2010)

[y0shi]

All my Alexander McQueen scarves are stolen from my mom. She has a cabinet full of them, I swear she's obsessed. Velony I'll see if I can post some pics for you once I'm done studying! I personally love the ones from the SS10 collection, they're a vision on acid. So damn cool.

i know there are a lot of (GOOD) fakes on ebay, but i was wondering if anyone could authenticate phoenix.trade's scarves... they sell a lot and i can't tell if they're authentic or not, considering they seem to have a lot of them and all for BIN.

That's why I'm buying them from regular boutiques.

 

[diormouse]

thecatsmiu, I had a look, and phoenix.trade's scarves are fake.

Worn mine in black & ivory.

Loving it so much but wearing the scarf really makes me sweat in the hot weather

Do you guys wash your scarves? I notice the care instruction is to dry clean though.

 

[Velony]

Looks great!
I just hand washed my scarf in my sink in warm water with a mild detergent and it worked fine. I have the cream one which has to be washed more often and I don't want to have it dry cleaned all the time. Just make sure to let it dry lying flat on the floor.

 

[thecommonplaces]

Thanks for your advice, Velony!

Sounds good. Sometimes the thought of having to send it for dry cleaning, deters me from wearing it Maybe I'm treating it with extra care because it really is the one & only piece I could afford

Just picked up a new season one in dark purple with metallic silver skulls. Love the scarves! This must be my 6th or 7th.

 

[Velony]

vogue, that one sounds great. Can you post a pic, please? I only have two of the silk chiffon ones but I'm thinking about getting a third one.

I finally got my first skull scarf! I've wanted one for ages but could never settle on a color and today I bought the light gray with turquoise skulls! It's so beautiful. I already want a dozen more.

 

[diormouse]

^Congratulations! I'm so in love with that colourway!

 

[Girl About Town]

I am very very very tempted to get another

 

[kwikspell]

Thanks, diormouse!
Which one are you tempted to buy, Girl About Town? I wish I could afford another but I am trying to save money for a big move so no more scarves for a while... though it's very tempting!

Well I love the bigger greyish and bluey lavender ones that I think may have been posted a while back, that came in pink and grey too but I haven't seen them for sale for a while... but I really love the silk one described as 'royal blue/sky blue' also They make great wide hairbands in my opinion.

I already have the blood red with black skulls though, so I should at least try to be good...

The grey and pink was the only other color available where I bought my scarf! It's very pretty!

I think it's reasonable to have more than one, especially if your other scarf is a much darker colorway. Totally different vibes!
