Ma Poésie is the creation of Parisienne Elsa Poux. A graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Elsa is inspired by ethnic cultures and crafting know-how, designing unique patterns inspired by travel, architecture, drawing and painting, with a strong colour influence from Russian abstract artist Sonia Delaunay. Delaunay, known for her avant-gardist research on rhythms and colours, declared in 1923 that her fabric drawings were as much “poetry” as “the expression of a state of mind”.
Elsa's designs are imbued with a strong graphic identity and a range of very personal colours, and revealed through artisanal techniques of weaving, screen printing and embroidery on cotton, silk or wool.
On this cotton scarf, a visual game of threads are overlaid and create an optical effect, like a prism. This version in blue, khaki and green is traditionally screen-printed. This organic cotton is handwoven in a Bengali village, in India.
