HERMES 90CM SILK SCARF - LES ARTISANS
by AKIRA YAMAGUCHI
This design is stunning in the detail of its vignettes, and the masterful combination of Japanese and French imagery. I particularly love the upper left corner and its meta perspective of scarf-making!
From the Hermes Story Behind: Akira Yamguchi is an artist from Tokyo who is inspired by traditional pictorial forms, which he interprets in a personal and innovative way. Invited to France by Pierre-Alexis Dumas, he discovered the different facets of Hermes. This composition is a meeting of Japanese culture and Lyon silk know-how, and pays tribute to the artisans. At the center of the design are two samurai: a woman riding a horse-motorcycle and a man holding its reins. This modern chimera is surrounded by scenes depicting the Faubourg Saint-Honore store in Paris and the silk, leather and saddlery workshops.
