Invited by Sergei Diaghilev, he designed sets and costumes for productions like Le Chant du Rossignol. Colour became movement; pattern became rhythm. Every design starts as Aubrey's own artwork. The silk twill is woven in China, the home of silk; each scarf is then printed in Bangkok and its edges rolled and hemmed by hand, with his signature in the print. ## Ways to wear it - **At the neck**Fold into a long band and knot loosely at the front or side. - **In the hair**As a headscarf, or folded narrow and tied around a ponytail. - **On a bag**Tied to the handle, so the color shows from across the room. - **As a top**Folded into a triangle and knotted behind the neck and back. ## How this design began Part of his opera series, designed for Capella Hanoi, the hotel near the Hanoi Opera House that celebrates the fin de siècle and everything opera.
