The Hermès Scarf: History & Mystique Hardcover – July 15, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
A sumptuous selection of Hermès scarves chosen from seven decades of creative innovation.
The Hermès 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 Hermès has produced more than two thousand different designs. From the classic scarves that embody the Hermès 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 Hermès 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. 292 color photographs and illustrations

For visual, this is a great inspirational book.
It does not have much explanation on the images, but it helps me more focused on the image.
Also, I love to study the references they used on my own.
But if you want a proper explanation for the images, it is not the book for you.
I love Hermes actually, so I could be biased, but the book itself is wonderful as well and I spend hours admiring the details of scarfs (there are more than100 different designs, each on one full page + variant colours for some of the most famous).

Le immagini sono bellissime ( sono una fan di Hermès!! ), non ho ancora letto tutto ma pare che anche la storia sia ben raccontata.
Molto bello anche come oggetto di arredo, la copertina rigida di ottima qualità.
Se proprio devo fare un appunto sarebbe bello non stampassero il prezzo sul libro poiché se lo si vuole regalare lo si deve ‘ rovinare’ coprendo il prezzo a penna.
Entrega rápida como sempre pela Amazon.
