HERMES 140CM SILK MOUSSELINE SCARF FOR SALE -
BRIDES REBELLES by BENOIT PIERRE EMERY
|
If you've been digging around this site for longer than a minute, you know that the traditional equestrian scarf design is not high on my list of must-haves. The original 90cm of Brides Rebelles naturally has never graced Ye Olde Scarf Drawer. But this has enough color in the bright checkerboard squares that I overcame my avoidance of the traditional motif. This 140cm mousseline was originally purchased at Neiman Marcus in Washington DC.
From the Hermes Story Behind: A composition of bridles taken “on the hoof”, this carre recalls those tales where objects come alive by night, before once again docilely resuming their place when morning comes! It shows a series of harnesses made at the beginning of the last century by Hermes for a family of Polish aristocrats. Today transformed into a museum, their stately home of Lancut in Poland houses a very fine collection of carriages, coaches and harnesses, forgotten for years. The different exhibits were laid out on the ground by the designer, who then photographed his composition, before redesigning it to bring out the lustre of the metal and the sheen of the leather. RE-HOMED Yes, I'm interested! |
