Vintage Anne Fogarty Silk Square Fringe Scarf Neckerchief

Lovely blue silk scarf from midcentury American fashion designer Anne Fogarty for David E Schwab, author of 1957 book 'The Story of Lace and Embroidery and Handkerchiefs' and owner of handkerchief and lace goods company David E Schwab & Company. Fogarty was a significant figure in fashion - especially for youthful looks - throughout the 1950s & 1960s, emphasizing classic silhouettes and versatility as she designed first for Saks Fifth Avenue and then her own business, Anne Fogarty, Inc. (She also wrote a book in 1959 entitled 'Wife Dressing' on how to dress for one's husband - definitely a time capsule of the era!) Fringed edges. Signed in white in bottom corner. 100% silk. Made in Japan. Very good vintage condition. Recently dry-cleaned. Some light watermarks on body of scarf. See all pics. (Last two pics are '50s-'60s photos.) 24" x 24"
