What are hip chicks wearing around their neck ? ...it's called "Faux-a"?

What is this feathered neck couture? Well let me give you a little hint.... it is a scarf made from re-cycled 70's fabric and clothes. The fabric is cut into strips and assembled with a feathered look.

Thrifty housewives have always found practical uses for tired or tattered clothing, especially during hard times such as World War II. Women were encouraged to mend and save. Well today, up-cycling is back in style and a Connecticut artisan is adding a new twist to the phrase "rags to riches" with the introduction of "Faux-a" scarves made from old fabric and re-cycled apparel.
