Dimitri Rybaltchenko's Achievement | Hermès Scarf



Dimitri Rybaltchenko and Hermès Scarves


2022 Minuit au Faubourg 70


The clock strikes twelve. Midnight in Paris, and the city seems calm and quiet. But a signal beams out from the Eiffel Tower: a call to Super H! Something’s afoot. Masked and cloaked, the proud horse atop the Hermès building undergoes a strange metmorphosis, ready for action. We watch breathlessly as he prepares to take flight – a modern Pegasus for the world of the comic strip. A few seasons ago, another carré – Quand soudain (When suddenly) – showed him with his rider, galloping, mane rippling in the wind. Here, watched from a discreet distance by his groom, standing behind a nearby window, he sports a super-hero costume all his own. What’s about to happen? Find out next time, in the adventures of Super H.


2022 Springs Springs


It takes courage to tackle the great classic, Springs! Dimitri Rybaltchenko knows his classics, as he is the great-nephew of Philippe Ledoux, who created this design in 1974. This connection was his bold decision to redesign the scarf in cubic form, creating a mise en abyme of tradition in one fell swoop. Now we just have to reassemble the pieces of this kaleidoscopic puzzle: can you spot the tiny details of Napoleon II’s phaeton? Each ornamental detail of the carriage – the bees, the Grande Croix of the Legion d’Honneur, the imperial seal – has been meticulously drawn just as it appears on the life-sized version conserved at Schönbrunn Palace.



2022 Sur Mon Nuage


Is that a fish with butterfly wings? Is this a carrot growing in the sky? Next to the jockey riding on cloud nine, two rabbits enthusiastically debate these questions. Maybe, to be sure, it would be a good idea to climb the stairs that lead to the top of the clouds, where the paper airplanes fly and a jester juggles. Interpreting the marvelous moving forms that glide across the sky is one of childhood’s most wonderful memories... and one we never seem to outgrow. Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s design is an invitation to dream and travel to imaginary worlds. With joyful delight, he draws us into his dance of stratus, cirrus, and cumulonimbus clouds.

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

Photo courtesy of Hermes    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 a...

Hermès Scarf Kawa Ora - Te Rangitu Netana | Handcrafted Jewellery designed by CloudWei.C

Photo credit to Hermès The Hermès Scarf Kawa Ora, designed by Te Rangitu Netana. As stated in the Hermès catalogue: Te Rangitu Netana, a Maori tattoo artist took inspiration from the life of his ancestors and Maori culture to design this scarf. An owl, the messenger between the material and spiritual worlds, rises above the four walls that draw the house of the tribe's meeting place. Knowledge and a connection to the sky are represented on the northern wall, creation and water on the southern, light and the giant eagle on which the Maori have travelled on the eastern. The albatross tears represent the suffering of the Maori people in the western. The central circle represents a giant octopus, a symbol of navigation, and its tentacles, the eight directions of the Maori compass, in a spirited crossing of cultures. The necklace I created  specifically  for my Hermès scarf Kawa Ora. It is inspired by the seawater momentum depicted in Kawa Ora. T he owl spreads its wings t...

2017 Hermès Scarf Jardin à Sintra - The Meaning Of The Object

Photo Courtesy of  Hermès The annual theme of the luxury French Maison Hermès in 2017 was Le sens de l'objet . It alludes to “The meaning of the object” or “The sense of purpose” when it is translated into English. It refers to the motivation to pursue goals and dreams, to accomplish something meaningful to you or to make a positive difference for others. Echoing the annual theme, its carré contents extend to aspects such as the object evolution from visualisation to reality, the passion of craftsmanship, the connection between space and time, the ecology of human-nature interactions etc. Photo Courtesy of Andrea The carré Jardin à Sintra was designed by the artist Annie Faivre for the Hermès Fall/Winter 2017 collection.

2017 Hermès Scarf Into The Canadian Wild —— The Inestimable Treasure

The luxury French Maison Hermès launched a special edition carré “Into the Canadian Wild” to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary in June 2017. The other versions of Into the Canadian Wild were released worldwide in the Fall/Winter seasons of 2017. A portion of the sale proceeds was donated to the charity Evergreen Canada. The Hermès catalogue briefly described the carré as follows: “Canada is the second biggest country in the world by geographical area. Bounded by three oceans, this vast territory is watered by thousands of lakes. Its diverse fauna is protected in a host of regional and national parks, burgeoning with wildlife. This vivid evocation by Alice Shirley presents a swirling celebration of life, an explosion of colour. A majestic snowy owl, one of the symbols of the Québec region, soars amid the aurora borealis.  Animals go about their daily lives by land and sea: polar and brown bears, salmon, narwhals, orcas and whales, stags, bison, bighorn sheep, caribou, snow geese,...

2020 Hermès scarf La Légende du Cheval a Plumes - Part 2 The Mino's Carnival

 © Hermès Under the terrace, the Trajineras come through an arch tunnel. These flat-bottomed wooden boats are hand-painted in eye-catching assorted colours and float along over an intricate, atmospheric canals system. Each Trajinera has an exotic name, Norma, Rosa, Guido, Gordis, Gracil, Flaquita, H, etc. Norma is the largest Trajinera in the area, with one Mexican mariachi acoustic guitar player wearing a Sombrero hat performing on the boat. Trajinero, the operator of the Trajinera, is navigating and leaving the dock of the city’s iconic sculpture slowly. The stone sculpture Horse is lifting the crowned sea urchin over its head.  The crowned sea urchin is also known as the long-spined sea urchin. This species is ecologically important because it consumes microalgae, makes room for the expansion of existing coral colonies, and helps the next generation of corals’ growth. The coral colonies protect coastal areas by reducing the power of waves and tropical storms from the Atlant...

Octave Marsal's Achievement | Hermès Scarf

2021 Faubourg Tropical The first Hermès store opened at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris in 1880, in a building of modest dimensions that also housed saddlery workshops and private apartments. The current neoclassical façade is the result of audacious building work carried out between 1924 and 1926, extending upwards to create additional floors and a surprising roof terrace. It is from this terrace that the exuberant tropical forest designed by the duo of Octave Marsal and Théo de Gueltzl appears to unfurl. Cheetahs, monkeys and cockatoos blend into this botanical canopy, which also conceals the unexpected figure of the mounted cavalryman from the top of Faubourg Saint-Honoré, who has escaped to the jungle. 2020 Cavalcadour Voltigeur Cavalcadour, a classic design by Henri d'Origny, has been reinvented in 3D by Octave Marsal and Oliver Dickson. The new technologies applied to this legendary composition change our perception of it significantly. In this acrobatic exercise, Cavalca...

  Photo Courtesy of  Hermès   Applauding its annual theme Metamorphoses of Objects in 2014, the luxury French Maison Hermès paid tribute to the beauty of nature and its transformation. The carré Au Coeur de la Vie which was designed by the artist Aline Honoré and first issued in the Spring/Summer seasons of 2007, was reissued in 2014. The Hermès 2014 catalogue provides the following detailed information about the carré: “Life is an extraordinary series of metamorphoses. Like an allegory of life itself, this scarf takes us on an incredible journey, beginning at the heart of a single living cell, and ending among the branches at the tops of the very tallest trees in the equatorial rain forest. From the infinitely tiny to the infinitely great… The forest canopy is an expanse of greenery reaching into the empty sky – all that lies between it and the sun. Remote and inaccessible, it is beyond the reach of man: this is the realm of the imagination of Nature herself. The incred...

  The water fountain’s musical trickling sound is a classic of Italy. Water fountains are beloved by Italian. The first fountain’s beneficial purpose in ancient Rome was bringing water to the population and livestock. As time went by, Romans started building tiny drinking fountains to the massive decorated fountains with iconic sculptures all over the region in Italy. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Villa Borghese, Rome Italy As a memory of the destroyed ancient temple of Asclepius, the God of medicine, the temple of Aesculapius was built on Tiber Island in Villa Borghese, Italy, in 1786.
