54 Rue du Chateau Shawl Pattern:
Introducing a captivating collaborative project, the 54 Rue du Chateau shawl is an exquisite testament to creativity, inspired by the Surrealist game Exquisite Corpse. This innovative shawl journey unfolds from the historic site at 54 Rue du Chateau, where artists collaborated to create a stunning piece of wearable art over the span of seven months. Each designer contributed their unique style, with each section building on the previous work, culminating in a beautifully integrated design. The project not only honors the spirit of collaboration but also comes full circle as the original designer completes the final section of the shawl.
