Presented this week at La Monnaie de Paris, the collection is the second edition of Hermès’ ’carré d’artiste’, the first of which was Josef Albers’ ’Homage to the Square’ in 2008.Īlthough artworks in their own right, Buren insists that they are made to be tied about the neck, draped and even crushed: ’They are unique objects like paintings but, rather than fixed on a wall, are made to be worn. The results are more colourfully nuanced, intense and pictorial. The silk scarves were created using ink-jet printing, a technique which allows an infinite number of colours to be used, unlike traditional screen printing. And that’s something he used again for the scarf project,’ he explains. With the ’Filtres colorés’ project, Buren ’once again showed in an amazing way, the simple beauty of the space, using light and transparency. ’Its very important for us to be open, to absorb new experiences, to have a tension, a space linking contemporary art and our métiers,’ says Dumas.
In this way, Buren helped initiate Hermès’ dialogue with contemporary art.

And in 2006 he inaugurated a second gallery for the label - the Atelier Hermès in Dosan Park, Seoul - with his ’Filtres colorés’, coloured panels that diffused the light to dramatic effect. Carrés, losanges, twillys, knit scarves, and ties are adorned with iconic or new designs in joyful and vibrant colors. ’It was a huge aesthetic shock for me, the way he brought out the space’s simple, obvious beauty,’ says Hermès artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas. The artist inaugurated Hermès’ contemporary art gallery La Verrière in Brussels in 2000 by transforming its walls with bold graphics, colours and his trademark stripes. The project follows on from two earlier collaborations between Buren and Hermès. The bold, graphic creations incorporate 22 of Buren’s photographs, which the artist has cropped in different ways, with varying striped frames, so that each scarf is unique.

A selection of these now adorn a series of 365 Hermès silk scarves - named ’Photos-souvenirs au carré’.
Since the 1950s he has amassed some 400,000 of what he calls ’photos-souvenirs’, documenting his work and travels around the globe, describing them as ’photos without pretension and no more than that’. P.P.S.French artist Daniel Buren might be synonymous with large-scale public installations - such as his forest of candy-striped columns outside the Palais Royal in Paris - but he has a lesser-known love for the lens. It’s ridiculous, but opening my fridge and seeing my LaCroix organized in these, and opening my cupboard and seeing my baggies/saran wrap/foil organized in these brings legitimate joy to my life.
Hermes scarves code#
(Extra good news: if you’re a first-time customer, you can get 10% off your order with code TNUCKNEW.) I’m planning on wearing mine with lots of all-white summer looks! I will occasionally prowl Real Real for a gently used one ( this is an amazing find), but I have great news: Tuckernuck has a collection of affordable (under $50) lookalikes on offer and they sell out QUICK every time they become available.
And, as street style starlet Giovanna Battaglia points out above and below, infinitely versatile! It’s timeless and heirloomable and ultra-wearable whether you’re 23 or 73. I have long lusted after a classic Hermes silk scarf - it’s akin to a fashion bucket list item, along the lines of a Burberry trench or a Chanel handbag.
