While watching Jeopardy the other night I learned that damask fabric originates in Damascus, Syria, with woven silk. Founded at a port in the Silk Road, this specialized form of weaving was traded and spread to Europe, being manufactured in Italy and France. Damask emphasizes the contrast of color and luster and creates a three-dimensional effect with the motif slightly rising up from the base. The emerald green of this hat is grounded in the navy blue creating a luxurious combination and timeless elegant design.
A statement piece to be sure, damasks spark drama, create interest, draw the eye, and elevate your look.
