David Wiener Art Scarves
My mother worked for Hermes of Paris for 20 years, so I couldn't help but get exposed to the world of fine silk scarves. My wife, Kate, is the lucky beneficiary of my mom's collection, but I benefited in ways I never expected. Years later, it came full circle as I worked with my Italian friends to produce a first series of fine silk scarves with my artwork. After a lot of sample testing of silks and printing, these scarves are equally beautiful as fashion or as wall art. Wear them out. Hang them up. Frame them. Wrap them around your gear shift lever.
Mixing Art, Cars and Fashion
Over the years, friends and collectors kept saying my art would make great scarves. I never gave it a lot of thought as I focused on making artwork for walls. But it started to make sense. Why not enjoy the colors and patterns and cars and motorsports and all the things that I love about design and racing in another medium. Following is my first series of Art Scarves. All are classic 90x90 cm size Italian silk. Over time, I will create more pieces, and all will be limited editions, so you will not run into someone else wearing your scarf as you tour the Grand Prix grid or your favorite restaurant!
Wear It Out
I have the same attitude about my fashion design as I do about my cars: it's about being used, not saved. One of my early taglines for fashion was "Wear It Out." Enjoy these scarves anywhere and everywhere. They aren't just for special occasions. As my mother would tell people at Hermes, there are about 107 ways you can wear a scarf, so try them all. For fun. For sport. For travel. For events. Anytime. Anywhere. Experiment.

David Wiener Art Blocks
We were busy making pieces for an exhibition and I had a thought: what if we tried making something really small. Sometimes you just want a piece for your desk. Or your bar. Or wherever. Sometimes I run out of wall space and it's fun to have a little "reminder" piece nearby. I call these Art Blocks.
