HERMES COTTON PAREO - MODERNISME TROPICAL
by FILIPE JARDIM
Living where it’s 90+ degrees half the year isn’t always scarf-friendly (thank heavens for air conditioning!) so when I discovered cotton pareos could be worn as more than a beach coverup my life changed (thank you, Bunnycat!). Hermes pareos are incredibly breathable and super easy to care for, but is still enough fabric so it can be worn year-round.
My patron saint of pareos had modeled this one day and I immediately made a note-to-self to be on the lookout. I was thrilled when, over a year later, one appeared on a resale platform. But I wasn’t sure how to check authenticity, so I reached out to MPSoP and asked if she could compare hers to the photos online. Imagine my joy when she said she’d been considering re-homing hers and I was delighted to provide the tipping point! So not only do I have a dreamy pareo, but it comes from such a special person which makes it that much more treasured.
From the Hermes Story Behind:
The first carre from Rio de Janeiro-born artist Filipe Jardim captures 'his' Brazil - a Brazil of the imagination and reality, too, with its distinctive, resolutely modernist architectural landscape. The richly-detailed, vibrant composition superimposes the curves of Brasilia (the new capital, inaugurated in 1960) and the strict, angular forms of the Paulista school, a groupjng of architects from the city of Sao Paolo. But Brazil is a jungle nation, too - the mata atlantica is the country's Atlantic tropical forest. Banana, aloe vera, and alocasia leaves are entwined in this astonishing, seductive portrait. Don't miss it, very decorative.
