Today's Style Suggestion

Today's Style Suggestion is brought to us by our friends at Twenty8Twelve

Designer Showcase: We Are Owls

Contemporary scarf line, We Are Owls, was designed to go beyond accessorizing and practicality, and becomes a reflection of emotions. Emulating the birds of prey, We Are Owls brings us a sense of mystery and make their presence as alluring as it is chilling – as enchanted as it is haunting. The collection carries us into a fantastical world where the lines of distress and desire are blurred. Like its nearly silent counterpart, We Are Owls has caught us off-guard with a stunning collection of carefully developed printed scarves constructed with the finest of cashmere yarns.

Launching in Fall of 2010, We Are Owls was dreamt up by three friends who always put fashion and art in the same sentence.  Like the nocturnal owl, the founders find themselves awake at all hours of the night and embrace the beauty within dark obscurities.

When you look at the scarves, its almost as if the patterns express emotions or tell a story. If that sounds crazy, come see for yourself. Check out the We Are Owls now at GAVIN...

The True Love scarf features a combination of red, black, pastel blue, and ivory brush strokes.

The Owl Cage Scarf is a soft, cashmere-gauze scarf with frayed ends, features the image of an owl in a cage.

We Are Owls was featured in Elle.com this summer in their Ultimate Accessories shopping story. The We Are Owls scarf was chosen as one of the 17 best accessories for travel, sport, and more!  

We Are Owls was also mentioned in Lucky Magazine as part of the "Lucky Breaks"

Even celebrities are catching on to We Are Owls. Blake Lively and the Kardashian sisters have been seen wearing these incomparable scarves.
