Scarves are perhaps one in few accessories with a dual purpose that kills two birds with one stone. Equally practical as it is fashionable, the scarf provides warmth in the fall to winter months (typically speaking, of course), whilst adding dimension, texture, and interest into any ensemble as an accessory. And with the cold front approaching, there\u2019s an incessant need for them: the neck gets coldest quickly, and everyone<\/em> is waddling about in stuffy black coats. It then becomes the winter accessories\u2014scarves, knit beanies, and gloves\u2014that are main focus of street wear.<\/p>\n

Enter De*Nada<\/strong><\/a>. De*Nada is an emerging accessories line specializing in handmade knits for both women and men, available at exclusive boutiques around the world. I was first came across the brand nearly a year ago when its founder and designer, Virginia Blanca Arrisue\u00f1o, e-mailed me a press release of her debut A\/W 2009 collection. I must admit I\u2019m always wary and incredibly <\/em>picky when sifting through PR e-mails<\/a>;\u00a0it\u2019s rare I love something, and even<\/em> rarer that I write about it here to share. I fell in love with the textures and layering, the versatility, the color palette of [my favorite colors!] black, grey, white, olive green, beige, and deep violet. Of the collection, Virginia had been inspired by the cultures of her Peruvian heritage and employed such traditional methods of crocheting, knitting, and braiding to create such unique detail in each piece. All the images above are from their A\/W 2009 campaign, featuring my favorite pieces:<\/p>\n
