Courbettes Et Cabrioles

Le Carre Hermes Paris >> Automne - Hiver 1993 / 94

Curvets and Caprioles

Even though the design of this scarf was inspired by the refined esthetics of the Chateau of Versailles, the bowing is not that of the members of the court prostrating themselves at the feet of their king. It is the horse in motion here, captured in all his youth, grace and high spirits by a sharp and knowledgeable engraver Riedinger, whose work inspired these images. They give us the urge to prance.
