Seller's Description:
New. The Herme s scarf is a style icon. Worn by royalty and celebrities, coveted and admired, and now avidly collected, this deceptively simple square of silk is much more than just a fashion accessory: it is the stuff of legend. Since the first scarf made its debut in 1937, the House of Herme s has produced more than two thousand different designs. From the classic scarves that embody the Herme s tradition to the wildly imaginative stylings of contemporary designers, the House is always forging new paths and yet is never afraid to take a fresh and often witty approach to its own heritage. A scarf is not the work of a single individual; at each stage of its creation, talent and craftsmanship combine to create a work of art. These qualities shine through in the illustrations, by turns playful and poetic, which lead the reader into a richly colored world with a multitude of motifs. They range from the equestrian themes that are internationally associated with the Herme s brand, through French history and the natural world, to global cultures. From vibrant opulence to subtle harmony, every scarf conveys a mood and every one tells a story. A sumptuous selection of Herme s scarves chosen from seven decades of creative innovation.
If you are an avid admirer of Hermès scarves, you probably need to own this book. The production quality is top-notch, and the scarves that ARE shown are shown to full effect. The accompanying essays are informative and well-written. However, if you are a scarf collector, you will be disappointed that so few scarves appear in the book. Hermès has issued approximately 2,000 scarves since its first, in 1937. Clearly, it would have been impossible to include all 2,000 scarves in the book! However, the book's designers/editors chose to use "artistic" presentations (such as plastic overlays and cut-outs) to present scarf patterns, thus decreasing the number of scarves that might have been shown. The other, more serious flaw is the lack of an index. If you find a scarf on page 172 and want to know more about it, there is no way to learn the name of the scarf, the date it was issued, or its designer without going all the way to the back of the book and then flipping forward until you find the information (in tiny letters, I might add) that relates to page 172. I can see why the book's designer didn't want to include this information on the page with the scarf (I think. No, I really don't.) But all this flipping back and forth, especially in a 4.2-pound book, gets cumbersome very quickly. Since this is the only sourcebook for Hermès scarves, it is truly a "must-have" for serious scarf lovers and collectors. It just could have been so much better. I really wish I could have given it four stars... I wish it had deserved five.
