90% wool, 10% cashmere
Commissioned in 2021 for Aspen Art Museum, Giles Round & Casa Estudio YOU'RE IN ASPEN scarf blurs boundaries between art, design and accessories, taking inspiration from the trademarks of Pop Art. Its bold and catchy slogan plays with recognisability and mundanity, nodding to the immediate, witty, sexy and gimmicky nature of popular culture items. Its fine wool makes it an ideal item of clothing for the winter, a must-have for Aspen visitors, local and distant fans alike.
