Celestial Beaded Scarf

$175.00 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This beaded scarf adapts the motif on a stellar evening jacket (1937) in The Met collection. Silver and gold planets, rhinestone crescent moons, swirling comets, and shooting stars illuminate a midnight-blue bodice speckled with beadwork dust, while the 12 symbols of the zodiac embellish the jacket's center front. The original garment was crafted in 1937 by the master embroiderers at the House of Lesage (French, founded 1924).
