When Camille posted pictures of Damir Doma's Fall 2009 line I immediately began to plot quietly about how I might get my hands on one of those braided scarves. Or how i might make one.

Except I couldn't figure out how to make the braiding frame the edge of the scarf without some complex series of cuts and some kind of french braiding technique. I don't have any fabric up here to experiment with, so I had to put it aside.

But then I noticed while perusing Seven New York's wares, that they have a version of the scarf available which is essentially just a triangle with the ends braided, so DIY plan back in the works.

The question remains, what fabric to use? I like the idea of some kind of raw silk, but obviously that wouldn't do much to keep me warm. In any event, I'm tempted to use a cream color so that it looks very skeletal like that first photo.
