A red scarf, preserving family memories, adorns the head of a daughter at a fashion show dedicated to Ukrainian Scarf Day at the Ukrainian National Clothing Festival in 2024. This day has become not only a symbol of the indestructibility of our traditions, but also a revival of the significance of the main symbol of femininity and a family heirloom. I inherited this scarf from my grandmother. It not only keeps you warm in the cold, but also heals all ailments. Wrap yourself in it, and you feel like you are among the angels of childhood, safe and protected by many generations of ancestors. Now my daughter has chosen it from my wardrobe as the most fashionable and valuable item to emphasise her look. Since ancient times, scarves have accompanied women throughout their lives: christenings, weddings, even funerals. The scarf was passed down from mother to daughter, preserving family memory and protecting the family line.
