Sheer beauty: silk art by Thea Porter: pure silk chiffon stoles, a snip at £37

Flowing, breezy scarves and transparency are headlining trends this season—and sheer beauty is what lies atop and beneath, as demonstrated at Dior, Balenciaga, and here by Thea Porter, queen of Boho chic and fashion designer to rock stars and royalty. Tie nonchalantly to let both ends flow against the breeze, and you are all set for the 2018 accessory trend.

Thea Porter is an iconic designer: Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Margaret adored the Thea Porter style, Kate Moss is a current devotee—an original Thea Porter piece now costs several thousand pounds and her work is in museums and gallery collections across the world. So we are delighted to show you these fabulous Thea Porter patterns in sheer silk chiffon stoles—retro in heritage, right on trend in current vogue, and timeless in both style and beauty.

First, Thea Porter’s fabulous ‘Persian Horsemen’ (top). Next her signature flower, the sumptuous ‘Lily’ (above left) in beautiful muted shades. Next (above right), light as air, the sheer elegance of ‘Lebanon’.

These gorgeous chiffon pure silk stoles look wonderful as sheer cover-ups over an off-the-shoulder dress for elegant evenings, and they are light enough to add flair in a knot at the neck, tied round the waist or over a shirt, in the hair—or look to Calvin Klein’s trick of looping the scarf through the dress. Any way you like, these chiffon scarves add a finishing touch of laid-back class to every look.

Beautifully made, each stole measures 180cm long by 55cm wide and is finished with a hand-rolled hem.
