Samuel De Champlain

Carre Hermes Paris > Autumn-Winter 2006

Silk Yarns

At Hermes, every scarf tells a story, a fable which the eye listens to. Navigators, explorewrs, musicians, scientists, sportsmen, linguists … as many adventures as are reflected here in the deliberate multiplicity of compositions and colours. The variety of this Autumn-Winter 2006 collection pays homage to the bold spirits who opened up new paths in all the domains of human invention and who made their name in the art of transforming existence into destiny. Such a man was Samuel de Champlain, who once explored Canada; each was a pioneer to whom we owe the attraction of new lands.
