HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - FLAGSHIP
​by DIMITRI RYBALTCHENKO

Over the years, Dimitri Rybaltchenko has taken a prominent place in Ye Olde Scarf Drawer. Part of that is his long tenure designing scarves for Hermes and his extensive library of work, and part of it is his cocker spaniel Misty. At first this design didn't do anything for me but then I got lost in the details... We've got Greek mythology (in a rock band, no less!), dolphins and fish, waterskiiers, and the one detail that made this a must-have for me: Misty the spaniel lounging in a motorboat. At that point my biggest concern was finding the right colorway.

And speaking of color, you can see from the pictures below how big of a role lighting plays in photography. Yup, same scarf, photos taken in different rooms. So when you're looking online to find the right scarf to grace your neck, try to find as many photos as possible so you get a sense for what the scarf will look like IRL.

Oh, and the answer to the age-old question about what the plural of 'pegasus' is lies in the Hermes Story Behind:

Observed through Dimitri Rybaltchenko's telescope, this boat has an air of Faubourg about it, with its evenly paved stones visible on the bow and display windows where celebrations seem to be in full swing, under the slightly envious gaze of the Greek gods. As a truly legendary landmark, the great Hermes ship has been sailing the seas for a century, revealing its majestic sails to the rhythm of the wind blown by a thousand pegasuses.
