A Must Have in the Professional Woman's Wardrobe
 There is nothing better or more luxurious in the scarf category than a Hermès silk scarf. This accessory (at least one) is a must have in the professional woman's wardrobe. They have beautiful designs and can add color to a basic suit or dress that says power and authority in a quiet way.
This fall Hermès is paying tribute to Josef Albers, the artist, in a series of limited edition scarves. Alber's Homage to the Square series was the inspiration for six silk scarves in editions of 200. These pricey (€2,000) scarves will be for sale at select Hermès stores.
Albers was a professor at the Bauhaus in Germany. He came to America in 1933 and taught at Yale University, Black Mountain College, and other art schools. His "Homage to the Square" is an exploration of color and spatial relationships, limited to square formats.
Hermès designer silk scarves are expensive but there are many that sell for much less than these limited edition scarves. Their silk square "pocket scarves" go for $125.00 and look great tied around a neck.
