Chicago Harbor Lighthouse Skyline Double-Sided Mulberry Silk Scarf
Black & White | Alesia C. Architectural Collection
Original Chicago Artwork by Alesia Chaika | Created in 2012
Celebrate the architectural beauty and enduring spirit of Chicago with the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse Skyline Double-Sided Silk Scarf, an original wearable artwork by Chicago-based artist and fashion designer Alesia Chaika.
The scarf originates from Alesia’s original pencil artwork created in 2012, inspired by Chicago’s magnificent historic skyline, architecture, and waterfront. What began as a hand-sketched drawing on paper was later translated onto luxurious 100% Mulberry Silk, allowing the original artwork to move beyond the traditional frame and become part of the Alesia C. philosophy of wearable art.
From Pencil Drawing to Wearable Architecture
The design celebrates Chicago through layers of architectural inspiration. The city skyline and Chicago Harbor Lighthouse are interpreted through Alesia’s original pencil drawing, preserving the expressive character and fine details of the hand-rendered artwork.
The scarf’s distinctive square geometric elements carry another Chicago connection. They were inspired by architectural details Alesia observed while looking upward at the magnificent ceiling of Stanley Field Hall at Chicago’s Field Museum. The hall’s repeating square geometry, symmetry, and monumental architectural structure became a source of inspiration for the geometric elements incorporated into the scarf.
Together, these two artistic perspectives—Chicago’s skyline viewed across the waterfront and its architecture discovered by looking upward—create a textile composition that celebrates the city from different points of view.
The Alesia C. Art-A-Porté™ Philosophy
This scarf embodies Alesia Chaika’s Art-A-Porté™ philosophy: transforming original artwork into fashion that can be worn, collected, and displayed.
The original pencil drawing becomes the foundation for a textile artwork, while architectural details are reinterpreted through pattern and silk. The result is more than a scarf—it is a Chicago story expressed through art, architecture, and fashion.
From sketch to silk. From architecture to wearable art.
Double-Sided Mulberry Silk Design
Crafted from 100% Mulberry Silk Twill, the scarf features a luxurious double-sided construction, allowing the artwork to be appreciated from either side. The stitched layers give the scarf beautiful structure and presence, while delicate short fringe edges provide an elegant finishing detail.
The timeless black-and-white palette echoes the character of the original pencil drawing and emphasizes the architectural lines of the Chicago skyline.
At 64 inches long, the rectangular silhouette offers multiple styling possibilities. It can be wrapped around the neck, draped over the shoulders, layered over a coat or jacket, or styled as an elegant statement accessory.
Beyond being worn, the scarf can also be appreciated as a collectible textile artwork for admirers of Chicago, architecture, travel, and original art.
Each scarf is beautifully presented in a signature Alesia C. purple triangle gift box and accompanied by a Story Card, making it a meaningful Chicago keepsake and distinctive luxury gift.

The Story Behind the Timeless “CHICAGO COLLECTION” by Alesia Chaika - designed in 2012
For more than two and a half years, Chicago-based artist and fashion designer Alesia Chaika devoted herself to creating the CHICAGO COLLECTION — a line of luxurious accessories and high-end gifts designed for those who cherish the beauty, spirit, and architectural poetry of Chicago. Her vision was clear: to craft timeless pieces that celebrate the city while honoring the artistry and craftsmanship behind every detail.
Inspired by her deep love for Chicago, Alesia and her artistic team spent over a month meticulously drawing the city entirely by hand, using only pencil. Each day they sketched one inch at a time, capturing the elegance of Chicago’s skyline, the charm of Navy Pier, and the breathtaking presence of the historic Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, one of the city’s most extraordinary landmarks.
The final illustration — a masterful work measuring 27.5” (70 cm) in length — offers a fresh and artistic perspective on the iconic Chicago skyline.
Once completed, this original pencil artwork was transformed into a collection of pure silk scarves and refined, timeless gifts for both men and women. From luxury accessories to meaningful souvenirs, each piece in the CHICAGO COLLECTION carries the essence of the city, the patience of the artistic process, and the enduring beauty of Chicago’s architectural heritage.
