Hermes Vs Kidult

(via HYPEBEAST)

Is it the cynic in me that seems to think that Hermes was kind of asking for this with their 'Graff' scarf collection? If they want to be 'street' and 'urban', NOW THEY ARE...alongside Kenzo, Supreme NYC and YSL. Kidult's Kenzo tagging was in response to the apparent commercialisation of Street Art as seen in the ad campaign for Kenzo's Flower Tag perfume. I'm not condoning this sort of graffiti work but I think perhaps high-end brands should probably stay in the shallow end of the market - they've got in too deep with the wrong crowd.

Sell Out?



The Parisian graffiti artist Kongo has collaborated with Hermes to create these 80s inspired scarf designs. This High/Low art doesn't seem to sit too well with me, surely stick to what you're used to? Those aspiring to be 'street' would not head straight to their local Hermes (largely as they're not local... far from it) for a luxury silk scarf. Needless to say I can't fathom who they're aiming at here, is it a fad too far?

Hermes Vs The History of Art

Ingres' La Grand Odalisque, 1814

Gauguin's Nevemore 1897

Courbet, I cannot for the life of me work out which painting this is. If you have any ideas please enlighten me.

Dressed as a 1920s tennis player...

Much like Jean-Paul Gaultier's Spring/Summer 2010 collection for Hermes
