Robert Dallet

French artist Robert Dallet was born in 1923 (yay - an artist older than me!), and had a lifelong love of animals and nature. He would spend hours at zoos and museums studying animal behavior and anatomy, and parlayed his passion into working for various nature magazines and illustrating a number of books on wildlife from around the globe. His art was exhibited in museums, where, in 1985, Jean-Louis Dumas asked him to design a scarf.

Dallet is most well-known for his realistic drawings of big cats. Not only do they feature prominently in many of his scarves, in 2016 Hermes co-edited the hardcover book Fierce and Fragile: Big Cats in the Art of Robert Dallet. Featuring newly-published watercolors and sketches, it includes writer Nadine Coleno's take on his partnership with Hermes. 

Dallet scarves are works of art, and cat lovers worldwide clamor for vintage and re-releases. (Guepards Bandana double face 90cm silk scarf is in The Re-Home Pile.) I've had some of his designs in YOSD but realism is not my thang. Jungle Love is an absolute classic and appears in many formats and re-imaginings, but the only reason I have this is because it's cotton and it's hot 9 months of the year here.
