Hermès – Tie Croquet

Véronique Nichanian was, of course, inspired for her menswear collection by the sport theme which is the main topic at Hermès for 2013. “Chic le sport” – effortless, casual and sporty luxury has been embodied in the most recent designs and accessories.

Hermès – Rallye 24

Hermès_Rallye24

The 2013 theme at Hermès is “chic le sport” – and this can be seen in their most recent porcelain collection: RALLYE 24. For the launch of the new accessories for men and women, the French Maison has created three cute videos that can be seen exclusively in Switzerland on Sandra’s Closet. Here is the first one concerning the new china:

TO WATCH THE MOVIE PING PONG, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Rallye 24 with the emblematic anchor chain is reminiscent of a car race track with its straight lines and oval corners. Glossy as a car’s paintwork, the rims of the dish speak the language of racing liveries: grey, yellow, green, red, blue, black. This might be the first china that you don’t have to convince your husband to buy. Twirl your starter flag…

Another protagonist of the video is the TOOLBOX bag:

SacRallye24_Hermês

Presented for the first time in 2010, this bag offers everything a modern business woman needs to carry her “tools” in a chic way. The lock is inspired by the Kelly bag. Available in three sizes, 20, 26 and 32, it comes with a detachable shoulder strap.

Comme des Carrés

“Comme des Carrés”
Hermès meets Comme des Garçons
February 6th – March 31st 2013

Bali Barret, the artistic director in charge of the Hermès women’s universe, has invited Rei Kawakubo, creator of the Comme des Garçons house, to lend her personal vision to the Hermès scarf. This unexpected encounter has produced two collections, each released in limited edition: one, called ‘Black and White’, will be available exclusively in the Comme des Garçons shops in Paris, New York and Tokyo. The other, named ‘Colour’, will be reserved for the Dover Street Market in London and Tokyo.

“Rei Kawakubo has stamped her vision on the Hermès scarf. With rigour, precision, energy and salience”, remarks Bali Barret. This work is in keeping with the Comme des Garçons reflections on the relationship between creation and already existing objects. Here, the encounter with the Hermès scarf consists of an application, or a graphic superimposition onto the house designs, thus creating new and unique objects.

“I have always deeply respected the tradition and craftsmanship of Hermès. 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 ‘paintings’ of Hermès scarf designs. I think through the addition of abstract images, we have transformed the scarf and created something new”, comments Rei Kawakubo.

“Black and White” collection: Available only in Comme des Garçons shops (Aoyama-Tokyo, New York, Paris). Part of the most radical vein of Comme des Garçons aesthetic work, this line is made up of five scarves printed only in black and white, where the absence of colour allows the pattern to drift towards the abstract.

“Colour” collection: Reserved for the Dover Street Market stores (London, Tokyo). Made up of six creations, this mischievous, colourful and adaptable collection has a hybrid character, in which the surprising assemblies (rectangle, giant patchwork, gingham and stripes) rewrite the traditional narratives of the scarf.

The ‘Comme des Carrés’ collection will be available:
From 6th February 2013 in the Comme des Garçons shop, Paris
From 7th February 2013 in the Comme des Garçons shop, New York
From 8th February 2013 in the Comme des Garçons shop in Aoyama-Tokyo, and the Dover Street Market Ginza shop.
From 12th February in the Dover Street Market shop, London

QuadrigeQuadriga

The collection will also be for sale online at www.doverstreetmarket.com from 6th February 2013 for the “Colour” collection and from 1st April 2013 for the “Black and White” collection.

I just love all of them!

Day 18: The Berline Bag by Hermès

Day18_Sac_Berline_Hermès

Dear Santa, I have been a very good girl, so please bring me the BERLINE MINI BAG by Hermès, it is totally my object of desire! And probably yours now, too!

Hermes_PE12_02BERLINE BAG by Hermès

Introduced for F/W 2012, the original Berline Bag is available in the size 28 (28x21x9 cm). While it takes on a new colour for S/S 2013, vermillon red, its features, inspired from the Kelly bag and the automobile universe, pay tribute to the house’s unique saddler-stuffer know-how.

Berline Bag Veau Swift – CHF 6600.-

BERLINE MINI BAG by Hermès

For the S/S 2013 season, it will be available for the first time as a miniature version in the size 21 (21x17x6 cm). This little sister of the Berline bag showcases Hermès’ saddler-padding know-how with its cushioned leather sections. Although its strap is thinner and longer for relaxed crossbody wear, its clasp and snap hooks take a strong stand in retaining their original size. Available in six colours, with matching strap.

Berline Mini Bags in Swift Calfskin – CHF 5650.-

Day 2: Jour d’Hermès

Secret_iS-Out

Today is the 2nd of December, time to open the second door of our Advent calendar and to reveal the secret why I went to Greece with Hermès. It is something for perfume aficionados and beauty lovers:

Jour_HermèsJour d’Hermès, the French house’s new women’s fragrance, will hit the shelves on February 15, 2013. Great news is that it is available exclusively now in all Hermès boutiques. Such a fantastic, very selective gift for Christmas. The scent is like the dawn, luminous, sensual, floral and very feminine. In the beginning of next year, I will tell you all about the trip to Delphi and give some more information on the new scent.

LoL, Sandra
