Pêle-mêle
There once was… a drawing.
A drawing tells stories. It surprises and teases…
Balancing between reality and imagination…
An impish companion, it illustrates this Hermès year of tales.
Once… twice… a thousand times upon a time.
Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès
Illustrations by Philippe Dumas
For Hermès, 2010 is a year of tales to be told. Remember my previous post about this? This issue is actually filled with lots of beautiful illustrations by Philippe Dumas who is the grandson of Emile Hermès. He is also a designer of Hermès scarves or carré and an illustrator of children’s literature.
While there are certainly lots of interesting articles and stories to read, I found that most of the photos they chose for this issue were very “safe” and were not as creative as the previous year’s issues. However, they were still interesting to look at and made me add a few things to my wish list.
For the Man:
Voyage d'Hermès and Orion case in aluminum and natural cowhide
Bags and accessories for men
Digressions
Ahhh, to be nicely dressed just to read a book out in the field.
A nice walk on the beach.
Stylishly playing a game of chess.
For the Woman:
Lots of new scarf designs
Polo jumpsuit and lots of accessories
Paper Princess
And of course, lots of bags!
Massai, Be Bop and Chaîne d'ancre parisien
Constance - in all sizes, colours and shapes
Marwari, Onimaitoubis, Le 24, Victoria II, Polochon, Hugo
They also have this new service set from La Table d’Hermès. It is called Les Maison Enchantées .
Gorgeous soup bowl in faïence
Dessert plates in faïence
Nice, isn’t it? There’s still a lot more to see but you’ll have to get your own copy.
