Photo courtesy of Hermès Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Garden of Alhambra, Granada Spain Across the Strait of Gibraltar from Morocco to Southern Spain, bordering the Mediterranean sea, on top of the hill Sabika at Granada lived the Moorish. Alhambra, the “Red Fortress'', is one of the oldest and largest surviving Moorish fortresses in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Water was a luxury on the arid hill and a significant theme in Islamic iconography. The intelligent use of water in Alhambra place changed Sabika Hill from dusty red dryland into a lush green oasis.

Remote and inaccessible, it is beyond the reach of man: this is the realm of the imagination of Nature herself. The incred...

2015 Hermès Scarf Jardin d'Hiver --- Part 1 The Gardens In The Deserts

In the 17th to 19th centuries, the elite from many cold climates cities in Europe used to build large conservatories to house tropical and subtropical plants that would survive under improved conditions. A Winter Garden’s primary purpose was to extend the elite’s living space and create an exotic living environment with tropical plants. One of the Winter Garden’s functions was to protect the precious plants and citrus fruit trees in the cold season, such as the tasty yet delicate orange trees and pineapple shrubs. At that time, the Pineapple, the indigenous fruit of South America, was a significant cultural icon of luxury. The warm and humid oasis mixed with lush trees, unique flowers and exotic fruits inside the magnificent architecture became an attraction for guests and visitors. It was eventually used for various purposes, such as displaying tropical plants, holding flower shows, afternoon tea parties, evening occasions, social gatherings, and academic research.

Hermès Scarf Kachinas | Part 1 - The Rare and Well-known Kachinas

Kachinas’ Identities Note: This article is an in-depth follow-up to “Kachinas Identities” ( Part1 , Part2 , and Part 3 ) previously posted on my Instagram account: cloudwei.C on January 8th, 9th and 10th, 2020. A member of PurseForum plagiarised and incorrectly tweaked most of the information in there. A member of TPF reposted it on the thread “ Scarf of The Day 2020 ” (page 1661-1683) in December 2020 without my consent. Imitation might be the highest form of flattery, but it clearly reflects the plagiariser’s incompetence and immoral conduct. Connecting to the article “ Kachinas' Background Information ” would help you understand the Hermès scarf Kachinas better.

2021 Hermès Scarf Ex-libris Atlantis Ugo Gattoni

© Hermès © Hermès The legendary sunken city of Atlantis hovers on the horizon of my imagination. In the theme of Hermès for 2021, “ A Human Odyssey,” Ex-libris Atlantis attracts me with the mystery myth and the creativity of the artists from Hermès. Ugo Gattoni created the design for the French house Hermès in the Spring/Summer 2021 collection. In the Hermès catalogue: "An ex-libris refers to a stamp or plate in a book that identifies its owner. Bibliophile Émile-Maurice Hermès chose a drawing by Alfred de Dreux (1810-1860) from his collection to be his ex-libris in 1923. The famous Duc attelé, groom à l'attente has since become the emblem of the house. The subjects are transported to an undersea sanctuary by the hand of Ugo Gattoni, who is fascinated by ancient and monumental architecture. Seahorses and corals populate this fantastical building and infuse it with legends." © Hermès Ugo Gatton depicted the place of Atlantis as being laid out with co...
