Hermès, the 19th century French luxury house, has in its collection an eclectic choice of classy, whimsical, witty prints of silk scarves. A scarf is the simplest accessory that gives a touch of grace and elegance to an outfit. The Hermès spring/summer collection of 2020 has imaginative designs with unique inspiration and story. The house is always seeking to push the boundaries, seeking astonishment, a new thing, says Bali Barret, artistic director of women’s wear at Hermès. The first scarf or carré (square) was introduced in 1937, and since then themes such as astronomy, time travel, cartography and mythology have inspired the artists who have designed them with Barret.
