Ashley Ashoff - Scarves That Rockstars Love
Friday, November 27, 2009 Posted by N.S
Squashed amongst the many fashion-worshipers at the latest Paris Fashion Week backstage of the John Galliano show with a glass of Champagne in hand, I was pressed up against a beautiful young woman who happened to be wearing a spectacular scarf around her neck – I simply couldn’t miss it! Meet Ashley Ashoff a Paris-based American who is the creator of this luxurious brand of scarves Ashley Ashoff.
I recently attended a private sale at her atelier and became an instant fan of her crafted work - a blend of art and haute couture for the neck, the wrist, the head and even the ankle of your boot! Her various collections are inspired by emotion, nostalgia, poetry and even the body – one of her collections called 'Human Heart' feels as though she dove right into the soul of the heart to produce this magnificent pulsating collection.
Madonna, Eva Longoria-Parker, Dustin Hoffman and Bruce Willis have been spotted wearing an Ashley Ashoff - as well as Taylor Swift for whom she had it especially made. Even rock 'n roll legend Steven Tyler from Aerosmith has tied an Ashley Ashoff from her ‘Champagne’ collection around his microphone! Sorry, but it just doesn't get cooler than this!

I also adore her collection "Billet-Doux" (meaning Sweet Words), which is all about hand-written love letters. As Ashley says “When was the last time you received a love letter?” Personally I got very excited at the prospect of draping love poems around my body written by French novelist Honoré de Balzac....

I am a longtime fan of Ashley Ashoff scarves. I own a ton and each one is unique and special. The scarves have the ability to transform an entire outfit, making the look tailored and sophisticated. I can't live without them.

Us regular girls LOVE Ashley's scarves too! She rocks! I love my scarf, and always get stopped on the street. I tie it to my bag usually.

I can't say how much i love the originality and classy look of Ashley's scarfs. All i have to do is put on a jeans with a boring shirt with one of her beautiful colored scarfs to make my outfit perfectly stand out and unique.
The colors, design,fabric and diverse sizes are just what was missing in my wardrobe! Now it makes me feel even cooler to know Steve Tyler has one too!

I have a number of her pocket squares and ties. Tossing her pocket square into a jacket pocket adds a dash of sophistication that can overcome being late, underdressed, or otherwise unworthy. Simply put, they are lifesavers.

I think every sophisticated woman/man should own a part of the Ashley Ashoff collection. I wear the green champagne scarf with dresses or suits and the long gray snowflake obsidian scarf with jeans or leggings for a completely different style. Love, love her collection!!

My fiance gave me my engagement ring wrapped in the love letter scarf "Billet Doux". I will always treasure my scarf by Ashley Ashoff-it is gorgeous.

These absolutly pop off the screen. You can really see them changing jeans and a tank or a simple dress into a statement, the sign of a great piece. A few perfect scarves should be a part of every womans's wardrobe.

j'ai un foulard ashley ashoff que mon fiancé m'a offert, je le porte comme haut et c'est extremement joli et original.. J'ai la sensation de porter un vêtement précieux car il est fait à la main, j'y suis sensible étant donné que je travaille dans l'art...

I'm also fond of Ashley Ashoff scarves. They're more than scarves, each of them is unique and has a special meaning because they're handmade. This is one of the most elegant and sophisticated present you can ever receive or offer to someone that is important to you. I wish everyone to have one of her creation!

Simply love her work. I cannot imagine what she will do with knitwear. When does that line come out?
