What would you think if I told you that Hermès and Comme des Garçons are going to create a capsule collection?
Am I getting crazy? Not yet, it's real and extremely interesting!
Bali Barret, the creative director in charge of the female world at Hermès, has invited Rei Kawakubo to collaborate with the French fashion maison for two capsule collection of scarves.
The union between the two universes, will be called "Comme des Carrés" and will be released in February 2013 in two stages: first in the Comme stores in Paris, New York and Tokyo, then in Dover Street Market (the selected shop of Comme des Garçons) in London.
"I've always had a great respect for tradition and for the traditional know-how of Hermès," said the Japanese designer. "As part of this joint project, instead of being guided by the idea of the “standard”scarf, I am quite interested in the beautiful tableaux that represent the designs of the Hermès square, and I tried to edit them by adding elements. Combining them in abstract images, we have created unique pieces "continued the 70-years-old fashion icon.
To understand concretely how the designer has interpreted the squares of Hermès, you have to wait until February, but I think it is worth it!

Cosa pensereste se vi dicessi che Hermès e Comme des Garçons hanno deciso di collaborare creando una capsule collection?
Che sono pazza? No no è tutto reale ed estremamente interessante!
Bali Barret, direttrice artistica che si occupa dell'universo femminile di Hermès, ha invitato Rei Kawakubo a collaborare con la maison di lusso per due capsule collection di foulard (una a tema geometrico, l’altra a tema “decostruzione”).
L’unione tra i due universi, prenderà il nome "Comme des Carrés" e uscirà in due tempi a febbraio 2013: prima nei negozi Comme di Parigi, New York e Tokyo per una parte dei modelli, poi da Dover Street Market (il select-shop del gruppo Comme des Garçons) a Londra.
“Ho sempre provato un grande rispetto per la tradizione e il know-how artigianale di Hermès”, ha dichiarato la stilista giapponese che di solito si concede raramente. “Nell'ambito di questo progetto comune, invece di essere guidati dall'idea del foulard indossato, mi sono piuttosto interessata a quei bellissimi tableaux che rappresentano i disegni dei quadrati Hermès, e ho cercato di modificarli aggiungendovi degli elementi. Combinandoli a delle immagini astratte, abbiamo trasformato il carré e creato un oggetto unico”, ha proseguito la settantenne icona della moda.
Per capire concretamente come la stilista abbia elaborato i quadrati di Hermès, bisognerà pazientare ancora qualche mesetto, ma credo ne varrà la pena!
