While doing some holiday shopping at a trunk show on the Upper East Side, I discovered an artist who designs and creates the most intricate, beautiful scarves I have ever seen. John Jameson is the talent behind Twisted Textiles. Jameson blends colors and materials together to produce one-of-a-kind pieces of art that will keep you warm and snuggly all winter long without sacrificing beauty or style.
Spending hours at the loom, Jameson weaves together the best cashmere, wool, and hand dyed silks. The result would please anyone who admires Chanel tweed-y textures or Rodarte’s deconstructed, collaged fabrics. Using all the colors in the rainbow, Jameson’s talent is in pairing strips of bright color woven through solids, often offering just a hint of brightness, or a sliver of shimmer. Some pieces even have silk strips knotted to the ends to create the fringe. The piece that I purchased is a black cashmere base with pinks, purples, yellows and a soft blue shimmer that blend to create the most intricate collage of textures.
