HermÃ¨s x Comme des GarÃ§ons – Cheval surprise studio des fleurs

A few months ago HermÃ¨s and Rei Kawakubo announced that they would collaborate. Comme des GarÃ§ons x HermÃ¨s scarves naturally got people pretty excited. I’m one of them. The collaboration resulted in two collections named “Black and White” and “Colour”. Rei incorporated house designs and manipulated them to create something new.

“Rei Kawakubo has stamped her vision on the HermÃ¨s scarf. With rigour, precision, energy and salienceâ€, remarks Bali Barret, Artistic Director.

“I have always deeply respected the tradition and craftsmanship of HermÃ¨s. In our project together, rather than wanting to wear the scarves, I was looking forward to the change that would happen when I added something to the beautiful â€˜paintings’ of HermÃ¨s scarf designs. I think through the addition of abstract images, we have transformed the scarf and created something newâ€, comments Rei Kawakubo.(source: press release)
