The story behind
During the Second Empire, the officers of the Imperial Guard wore sumptuous uniforms with Dolman jackets that were covered with frog fastenings. In 1972, Caty Latham designed a famous scarf inspired by this characteristic outfit, which is offered in a surprising reinterpretation here. By simplifying the original design with dotted lines, this new interpretation enhances the silhouette and decorations of this traditional costume which has continued to retain all its prestige.
