HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - VIF ARGENT
by DIMITRI RYBALTCHENKO
One of the oldest scarves in my collection is Dimitri Rybaltchenko's black and white Cheval a Caractere from 2007. That same year I added another black and white Rybaltchenko design: Vif Argent ('quicksilver'). Yes I've worn them tied together and it is spectacular!
Here the iconic Ex Libris motif is painted like mercury (aka quicksilver), and has an amazing white contrast hem. Vif Argent reminds me of Peinture Fraiche (also by Rybaltchenko), which came out in 2012 and was re-issued in 2022 as a gavroche with a striped hem. Both feature the Ex Libris in a wet look.
