Fans

The fan is a fashion accessory that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, and is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Designed to create a pleasant draught by moving back and forth by hand, the fan typically consists of foldable strips of various materials such as paper, fabric or feathers, mounted on wooden, plastic or metal frames. Historically used to refresh oneself, send discreet signals at social gatherings or complement an outfit, the fan combines utility and elegance. Now back in vogue, they are becoming a symbol of timeless chic, adopted at fashion shows and major events as the finishing touch to a sophisticated ensemble.
