Hermès THE CRAZY PARADE Multiple colors
Hermès: Superb and bright square in 100% silk twill, titled "La Folle Parade".
Designed by Claire Fanjul, a young and talented French illustrator who signs her first scarf, translating on silk his whimsical universe.
It is an 18th century engraving representing a carnival float in Rome that inspired this Mad Parade., an "enchanting masquerade, straight out of a wonderful toy box”.
Humor, fantasy and a touch of madness emerge from this composition. In the center, a chariot is surmounted by turrets and pulled by a disguised and masked horse. A multitude of strange and comical sketches follow one another all around: wheels, architectural elements, masks, turtles, men with animal heads, devils popping out of their box, are busy, have fun and spin endlessly.
A wonder, never worn but delivered without its box.
