Hermes campaign PE 2010: first pictures

Hermes is not just handbags and scarves, Hermes is synonymous with elegance, class, sophistication and style, these characteristics are reflected in everything he does, from fashion shows to advertising campaigns and of course on all that the brand is launching on the market. Today we see the first image with ad campaign spring summer 2010, a collection that promises beautiful and rich colors, a very sophisticated way and “Hermes” to welcome the summer. The thing I’m hooked on the colors of fabrics, is the model’s hair with a scarf inserted into the long braid, a new trend?
The good season for the Hermes is all about color, in the first and only photo that has been disclosed until now we see the beautiful model Karlie Kloss perched on a mountain of pillows as if the Princess and the Pea. The scarves, which in this case are also covers, are beautiful and colorful, stand orange, blue and purple.
Karlie Kloss is a beautiful American model born in 1992, is just 17 years young and is already a testimonial advertising campaign such as the prestigious Hermes, although it has already been the face for adv Dolce & Gabbana and See by Chloé. During the fashion shows for spring / summer 2010 collections, which were held last September she marched at the New York Fashion Week for Oscar de la Renta and Michael Korrs, has also opened the show by Isaac Mizrahi, Marc Jacobs and Ohne Titel and has closed ones by Philip Lim, Jason Wu and Thakoon.
The campaign was entrusted to the Italian photographer Paolo Roversi.
Dolce & Gabbana Bags, Miss Lexington

Here is another of Miss proposed by Dolce & Gabbana for P / E 2009, the Miss Lexington a very nice handbag available in three colors: gray, pink and white.
The Miss Lexington by Dolce&Gabbana is a pretty simple bag made of raffia with inserts in leather and available in gray, pink and white, it is my favorite I like the contrast between the simplicity of the model and the myriad of details that up the texture.
The Dolce&Gabbana bags are surely designed with differences. We have a reason that gray quilted with white thread to form a 4-petalled flowers, the one in the pink quilted ground to form squares and rectangles that finally has a textured white leather woven style Bottega Veneta.
The scholarships are part of the Dolce&Gabbana spring / summer collection of brand, certainly this is very different from Miss Lexington Miss Sicily we saw some time ago but both have a simple structure with highly processed materials.
The Miss Lexington presents the patella in which we closed with magnetic clip and a label on which there is engraved the logo of the brand, there is a really nice handle that has a cylindrical leather creased, but the hardware part is colored silver.
The interior is stamped with leopard prints and we also have a pocket with zip and one for the phone, the price of lovely Dolce&Gabbana handbag is 827.00 euro.
The BALENCIAGA bag
How a bag from there in the ultra-select category of classics?
Because it is timeless!
Fashion is a matter of time, often limited.
When a bag survives the season for it, it is no longer fashionable.
It is out of fashion, so classic.
As the now more famous than BALENCIAGA bag.
But between the lines “THE TEN”, the “Motorcycle”, the “WEEK-END” and “LARIAT” …
What Happens Next? What is the right model? ”
Revison together with …
BALENCIAGA LE PETIT ILLUSTRATED:
THE FIRST (SMALL CLASSIC)
Model Town, practical and great for the day.
For those who do not overload.
It is also called the model LARIAT – 800 E
THE CITY (CLASSIC MEDIUM)
A little more “catch all”, can put his bag
Makeup and clutter.
model called “MOTORCYCLE”
- 1000 E 1500 E according leathers and colors
THE WEEKEND (WIDE CLASSIC)
The large model. But this is not really a handbag …
It’s more a travel bag – and 2000 E +
It also calls the Balenciaga bags ‘THE TEN’, the name of the collection created by Nicolas Ghesquiere.
There is also a model HOBO said, with a thong to wear on the shoulder:
And the model Twiggy, the longer:
A question remains however … The Model Works, which is between the CITY and the WEEKEND, priced at approximately 1500 E, was not found … So are there really?! Or is it not another name for MOTORCYCLE? If you have the answer … Or if you can provide additional information on this great investigation … Be welcome!
DAMNED! I almost forgot the matching envelopes!
Have a BALENCIAGA handbag … It’s an investment, it’s true. But unlike many styles of handbags that innondent the market each season, at exorbitant prices (brushing & the ridiculous), the reflection is needed. A reflection that would lead me home …

Birkin Bag trompe l’oeil: The process of setting abyss of an icon
The power of objects often makes sense with the picture that you realize their substance beyond their reality. Moreover, the size and optical symbolic objects may be all or part of what we remember of the dream of a brand.
Demonstration:
The Japanese designer Issey Miyake, whose trademark is the pleated, plays with false pretenses and that image of sushi a symbolic setting of its origin and its know-how.
Campaign Pleats Please by Issey Miyake – 2009
The designer Natalia Brilli features objects that tell them even making the invisible visible aesthetics. For example the cover of a portfolio on which the image is restored to its content (documents, maps and tickets) that normally can not see.
Natalia Brilli
Pretexting, optical illusion and confusion of image and use create confusion in the convention narrative of these luxuries but participate in a new vision of beauty whose common denominator is Surrealism.
When Jean Paul Gaultier is implementing in the abyss Birkin Hermes bags, he removes his tricks but warning signs are symbolic in its identity. Result: you get an object whose image converse with one another.
The croc bag: the bag in the wild for winter 2008 2009
The modasses have all already in hand, the crocodile bag is all the rage this year. The croc bag it is a must-have winter 2008 2009. I remember my satchel bag in crocodile mother, there is a little less than 20 years. And yes, already tiny, I zieutais accessories for my mom. The crocodile is therefore a great comeback after a long long absence.
The brands have all released their models crocodile including Saint Laurent, who has devised a model of croco embossed suede pink powder (which comes in sleek black leather, for those who do not make the attempt). It is a star of the winter it is lovely. Or below this beautiful YSL Tribute bag.
My favorites are resolutely classic Chanel bag version grab bag from Hermes Birkin crocodile or favorite for the cover embossed crocodile Nancy Gonzales.
Of course, these crocodile bags are not within reach of every budget. Then the channels of ready-to-wear like H & M took the opportunity. Promod moreover it out one way croc handbag is cute. I saw a super to 25.90 euros at Leclerc (no, you are not dreaming but I when I saw him I thought dreams and besides, I have not seen since) . In short, the crocodile is democratic.
How to use crocodile: it does that in two formats exclusively for trend. The XL bag is my favorite (by cons, choosing preferably with external or internal pockets, just to avoid losing the car keys or mobile in the dark depths of her bag). The cover is a must-have of the season, then have a crocodile handbag is to have the flair of seasoned fashionista.
Oh Dior!
A bag and a nice even balance in the sky of Paris!
Beautiful symbol of a shining path despite a forecast of potentially heavy handicaps: its shape with ultra-chic-bon-bon-genre and its pattern of caning chair whose principle is as sexy as a truss floor, which may well be the secret of the Lady Dior?
Let the mystery for more because behind the caning is emerging evidence of a concept that inspires architects and cabinetmakers since the dawn of time: that of the structure revealed. Timbered medieval houses, structural iron of the Eiffel Tower and metal bridges Georges Pompidou Center are only the most notorious figures. The Cubists, in turn, brought an extra dimension to the concept by analyzing the structure of an object before deconstructing to reconstruct an original work. Also, it is quite tempting to imagine the still life in the cane chair as a tribute to Picasso pioneers of the genre!
The caning is so enigmatic character: and if it were a sort of talisman?
On February 12, 1947, while the Dior house will present its first fashion show Haute Couture, the caning is already there: not thread woven or stitched cord, but is interwoven with reeds and fully in his role as ’seat. Insidiously, the prints have his mark on the fund skirt and trousers audiences amazed by the audacity of a new silhouette: The New Look.
During the following decade, Mr. Dior would show a real talent as an architect in constructing and deconstructing the silhouettes never, however, reveal the structure. In addition, in the range of geometric patterns, only the foot-holes found favor with the master. But the characteristic of a talisman is not just to remain hidden?
Indeed, until the early 1990s, the caning will only brief appearances on sumptuous brocades inspiring especially to Marc Bohan and Gianfranco Ferre, both Christian Dior’s successors, respectively, in 1961 a coat and a cloak in 1991 . We also perceive the form of stitching on canvas Christian Dior handbags with a fairly ordinary bill does not deserve that we dwell on the subject …
Especially at this time, Dior began to restore its image tarnished by a political frenzy license and seems to struggle to reconnect with the foundations of his identity. It seems that the caning, seat of the first hour at Dior, has emerged as a revelation full of meaning.
Good news led to another, the mini-tote with leather, he dresses now, instantly seduces Bernadette Chirac, looking for a present for Lady Diana. We are in 1995. The Princess appreciates his gift so much and so she leaves him and, inevitably, gives her bag visibility almost equivalent to his, in other words: phenomenal! His baptismal name, Lady Dior, combined with wit and genius of those marketing the brand and his muse.
Since the architectural talent of Mr. Dior part filigree on the bag as all items decorated cane work, and seems to guarantee success for ever: a talisman I tell you!
Finally, as we have understood, the choice of the Eiffel Tower for the last theater advertising campaign of the Lady Dior is supposed to transport us in one of the worlds most meaningful of the mark where the structure n ‘ has equaled that deconstructs …
The Celebration of the House of Hermes
The square Hermès celebrates 70 years, but the house Hermes, meanwhile, is much older, with 170 years of existence on the odometer. Years of painstaking care primarily devoted to saddle horses, leading in 2007 to 14 bodies of different professions, whose authenticity and excellence of craftsmanship are excellent examples of the French luxury for many fashionistas …
Hermes is an epic story of family that endures, a passion that is transmitted in the genes and allowing the house, created in 1837 to evolve without a hitch until today. Yet initially thought that was a simple German emigre who move to France to set up a factory-Saddler Harness was behind a line of men who ran an empire, symbolized by itself an idea of France?
In 1837, Thierry Hermes moved to Paris. 30 years later, the excellence of his work makes him get the first class medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1867. This then propels the Hermès under the spotlight, the Tsar Nicolas 2 has order number of harnesses and saddles exceptions. Hermes gradually radiates prestige of those who became his regular customers: the kings and presidents worldwide. Emile Charles succeeds his father, then it is the turn of the son of Charles Emile, Adolf, to take the reins of the company.
We are in the early twentieth century, the horse gave way to automobiles. Hermes turns to the body and begins to export. It was during this period and his brother Adolphe Maurice Emile Hermes and develop the positioning of the leather goods sector. Hermes handbags, belts and gloves become a showcase for the label, they were joined shortly after the sport accessories and travel. The brothers and Emile Maurice particular innovation are savvy, curious about everything, and they will be the first to introduce the zipper in France.
In this creative emulsion was born in 1937 the famous square Hermes. Measuring 90×90 cm, it is quickly adopted by the VIPs of the day: Jacky Kennedy or Grace Kelly become unconditional client Hermès. The classic home in terms of leather is also called the “Kelly” and was the bag fetish princess of Monaco, although contrary to popular belief, it was not created for her.
The origin of this bag is in fact much more distant. In 1892 what brought on the market by Hermès, a bag to collect the effects of a horseman, from boots to the saddle bag and as the name “Back Belt. A few decades later, the model evolves toward a smaller product for women, it takes its final form when it added a loop and it will lose a few centimeters. This is the version to be adopted by Grace Kelly, who became emblematic of Parisian house.
In 1945 was officially filed the logo “coach” who will represent the brand. In 1978, the grand son of Émile Hermès Maurice, Jean Louis Dumas, who becomes CEO of the company with this idea: to excel in all professions who are under the cap Hermes watches through the saddle and tableware. But also to develop other sectors such as ready-to-wear jewelry or …
He dedicates a love and respect to particular crafts, precise gestures, research, intuition, all those factors that allow a sublime idea. All these things to capitalize butt make a committed fund, cover a calendar, a suitcase, a Birkin bag or even a perfume as the carriage, unique and incomparable quality.
Hours and hours of work are needed to make products Hermes, some operations can be performed only by hand and require extreme accuracy, as well as know-how that can be acquired after a long learning. Therefore, Hermes, maintaining its taste and technical perfection over time has lost none of its aura.
In 2004, after having attended 5 years ago to 35% in the company of Jean Paul Gaultier, Hermès replaces Martin Margiela by him to lead the artistic direction of ready-to-wear. More than one will be surprised by this choice adventurous going to coexist under the same name that is considered the enfant terrible of fashion, image and classy and chic home rider …
But it underestimated the talent of Jean Paul Gaultier to believe he could have squandered the Hermès spirit. Instead, combining classic elegance and contemporary aesthetics, he has succeeded in Hermes in the fashion world as well as any home prestigious officiating in ready-to-wear, such as Givenchy, Celine, or even Chanel.
Hermes is not afraid to shake a bit codes artistically. This new course, a bit irreverent, seems to be lucky and find takers on the luxury market. The genius of Hermes is sent to combine modernity and tradition. Thus it has emerged as Artistic Director of the petulant feminine silk Bali Barret, who dusted off things and has to receive the enthusiastic support of management.
She addressed the thorny issue “square” with simplicity and candor. For a product while it is iconic, through the ages without taking a ride, he must descend from its pedestal and make him live in his time. For her, the square Hermes must be the place where artistic expression is diverse and varied speak freely and tell a story …
Storytelling is also a fundamental concept in the world of Hermès. Advertising campaigns are always Hermes narrative and weave on the same idea, which is the theme of the year, such as “Over the River”, “Color and fantasy” or “The tape is leading the dance.” So many themes that guide the production Hermès time of year …
But back to Bali Barret, who for 70 years of house changes the sacrosanct Hermes dimensions of the square, and invites the most disparate characters leave their mark on the square of silk. Adored by the Japanese, Americans and almost all women of the world, the square is dipped in a broth of innovations in terms of graphics and thought that the girl today – and his mother – to s’ to find …
If he keeps his highly upscale pedigree, and that whatever the color on which it relies, is that it always requires two years of work and over 140 manipulations before ending up in stores. The luxury is there in the requirement almost unreal that governs the manufacturing process of the square.
The drawings overlay silk are 6 in number and are renewed each season. Once selected, they are decomposed into different layers, one layer per color, in the spirit stencil. Each drawing will then declined in 10 lines of different colors. Then the silk is printed layer by layer, and scarves will then be cut and hemmed by hand. Each step is carefully controlled, the slightest defect, sometimes difficult to detect with the naked eye, projecting the square directly to your cart.
The square Hermes is more synonymous with snobbery or looking hard at conventional elegance. Over time the port has been democratized, not that he has infused the different layers of the population, but those who wear it do not hesitate to desecrate in the forging of frayed jeans.
In 2006, one that Hermes had brought into the 21st century, Jean Louis Dumas, retired after 40 years of loyal service and has left his role as artistic director … his son. The story continues …
