[Living.la.vida.fifi]

THANK YOU, dear Fifi, for taking the time to photograph cw 12 to show the hem. Wowza, the red looks absolutely amazing against the purple "cloud" corner!
You are a real doll to post so many photographs for those of us who don't live near an H boutique.

My pleasure!

Yes I believe so! CWs 05, 10, and 12 seem to be the only ones with black cloud corners.

The sky on 10 is marine blue

Dear Fifi, no I haven't brought any home with me yet. It's hard for me to buy without having an idea what my plan is for the whole season and I went in without knowing what designs were offered. I also want to see the 2 green CWs for this design before I jump. Among the ones I saw so far, I liked the violet / rose one (CW 23) most and find it easy to wear even with the busy pattern and colors. CW 22 (mauve / vert / rouge) is a very interesting color combo but probably not easy to wear. But who knows, if I decide to make it a piece of wall art and not neck art, I might go for the mauve one. We'll see. I hope you find one that meets your need. Your modeling photos are always a treat.

Thank you so very much! I’m loving this design and the CW I like best so far is 23. I can’t wait to try it on when it comes in. No CW has come in the local store yet. Thank you again for the great pics!

ACTE 3 cw 10 marine/orange/vert

I fell in love with this one too... don’t you love it? It’s soectacular!

The various IRL pics of Acte III have gotten so confusing and difficult to search for in this thread to make comparisons I decided to go back through and make a list of some of the various pics shared and comparison photos for those who might like to see some of it all in one post and don't want to search 100+ pages to see the IRL versus online shots. Thank you to everyone who has posted mod shots here for us to have comparisons and to papertiger, lyseiki, fifi, Croisette, yodaling and saranga whose pics I used here. I put credits for your images over your pics.

Then CW 16. I feel like they actually did alright photographing this one:

Thank you so much for putting this together. Very helpful

Dear saranga, the cloud corner on Acte III CW 10 is a dark marine (navy) and the hem is light blue:

I never played Titania, but I was once Snout the Tinker, the Rustic Player who portrayed the Wall!
If you look closely at the H design, you can see that it's a wooden stage (so actors can "tread the boards") with flat set pieces -- see the edge on the orange "Moon section"? It's illuminated by the changeable Hermes spotlight and to me it looks like the Moon can be pulled up and down. The Moon piece is covering Titania's face here, but won't be in a minute. (And I agree with the idea that this image represents Oberon's obstruction of Titania's vision so she'll fall for Bottom.) Also look at the set piece with the Lion, as you can see the brace holding it up. It's a very "theatrical" image.
[And FWIW, I've ordered a cw 12 too]

Okay, moma:
Here's my Baobab Cat flat:

And here's a composite with various ties including one of the eyes on the bottom right.

I love the different looks of this design, especially the watercolor look and the shaded edges of the green flower! It's just amazing and really fun to play with. This is truly a case of IRL love for a design I thought was just awful on screen!

Congrats! It’s soectacular on you! This is one of my preferred CWs of Baobab Cat. Looks amazing on you! Thank you for posting!

Here.

I adore your Acte III, Nina! Big congrats! I’m waiting and maybe a little down the line I might also get it. The minutes it comes into my store I’m running to try it on!

Here you go!

I feel like almost going off topic by posting this, as I’m not sure anyone here is even interested in seeing another silk than the Acte III!
But I wanted to share my new scarf: On A Summer Day. As @weN84 already mentioned, H online has the incorrect CW! They have mixed up the pics and CWs with the marine one.
This is CW 03 (ébène/bleu royal/orange). Note that the border reads as black, but is in fact ebony (thankfully quite difficult to tell). Also that the top of the “buildings” is not white, but a very light pink.
I’m in love with this scarf! The colours are exactly what I expressed I needed in a silk even before the start of the season.

I love this so much! It is spectacular!

Thanks to all who have been posting pictures and information! Everyone looks so lovely in their new silks

I am slightly relieved to not be obsessed with this season's selections. The only silk that was on my wishlist was the Baobab Cat, and I was deciding between the 90 and the 45. I saw the gavroche today in the colorway I was lusting after, and brought it home! I have to say that the Hermes website did pretty well with their image on this one, the color is well-represented. Here is a comparison of mine (taken with flash) alongside the website image, hope this helps!

Such a gorgeous CW! Thank you for the pics!

I think that one is going to be a surprise thriller!

Agree... I plan to stop by tomorrow and try it on and will post pics

Got a couple of little goodies in from the Fall releases. First is one I won't see for a bit (and that is OK by me as it is 100F out and I don't really want to put it on for at least a few more months!). MrBcat and I agreed I will get this later in the year, and it goes in his "secret scarf present stash" (that he has learned not to wait 2 !!! years to give me something from)

And ok, even though CW 06 of Acte III ended up as a miss for me, I had no fear ONE of these was going to be a winner and yes indeed! Joining in the CW 12 crew today. The first 2 are full on camera pointed directly at me, white light from the window selfies for the best and truest color (and sadly, the clearest depiction of my wrinkles too) The third pic I took in a mirror reflection. You can see how it jacks with the apparent color of the scarf. IRL, it is saturated like the first 2 pics but I wanted to show how the angle, light and reflected image mess with the way the color appears.

Les Zebres is so sharp, fresh and gorgeous! Congrats! And, well, you know how I feel about CW12 of Acte III. It looks spectacular on you! Big congrats!

 

[HKsai]

Ooh... this is CW5, yes? This is the one I have bookmarked on the H site!
Thanks for the pictures... would love to see this one modeled!

I might have to ask my mom to be the model. I’m not very good at tying the women 90 silk :O

Hi HKsai!
You should tell your mom about a great website by one of our members. (She doesn't post anymore, but her name is maitai.) If you go to maitaispicturebook.com, you will find scarf tutorials there. Hope this helps!

This is super helpful! She literally just looked at it and she wanted me to say thanks!!! She’s gonna go get herself a scarf ring now

Nice! Cw 05 right? Is it more a deep teal green rather than emerald green?

you might give the How to thread in the scarf library a look through for some ideas. It's fairly short

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/the-how-to-guide-for-scarves-no-chatter.189943/

The overall colors are darker than what it looks like on the website. The darkest green is definitely quite emerald green but the lighter green does look teal. Again, overall it looks darker than the website). I will take some pictures under the sun tomorrow to see if it’s looks any different

 

[Pirula]

For @eagle1002us @ElainePG and others that wanted to to see the red Act III (cw03)

Lovely to be @Susie Tunes twin too


Modelling, I chose to wear something of complete contrast just for these photos so you can make out what is actually the scarf.

Wow this is just gorgeous! [emoji7]

 

[Pirula]

Hi Moma - Are you referring to ACTE III's cw 16. Here is mine and as I am still traveling with limited wardrobe, this top of mine is probably not the most ideal match with this color way.

Dear friends, since there’s been so much talk and interesting discussions about Acte III, I thought that some may be interested on some notes I posted on my Instagram account. I have an IG account where I post about my accessories, flowers and such. On Sunday, I posted a few still pics of Acte III and yesterday I posted some modeling pics. I copy below first the text that I wrote on Sunday and following, the text that I wrote yesterday. I hope this is not off-topic or distressfully boring. Only posting prompted by so many discussions about the scarf on this forum:

My first Hermès scarf of the Autumn/Winter 2018 season is a delightful homage to the genius, whimsy and fantasy of William Shakespeare. Édouard Baribeaud takes his inspiration directly from A Midsummer Night’s Dream to create his enchanting illustration for Acte III, Scene 1, La Clairière. The Hermès catalog states: “Written in the late 16th century, this enchanting comedy of errors draws its humour from the confusion caused by falling in love. In a magical forest, young lovers, a theatrical troupe, fairies and elves cross paths and commingle in endless plot twists. In the moonlight, Titania, queen of the fairies, her eyelids impregnated with a love potion, falls madly in love with Bottom, an actor metamorphosed into an ass. In this illustration of the scene, Édouard Baribeaud pays homage to Baroque theatre, Indian miniatures and early cinema.” As a lover of Elizabethan theater, one-time production designer of the play and Titania re-enactor, I had to have this scarf. The composition’s central image is of a bemused theatrical moon illuminating the staged fairy forest where a sleeping actor lies and a Fairy Queen who has metaphorically “lost her head” rushes in. The illustration’s naive style, colorful yet sophisticated palette and tribal vibe create a complex, varied, yet harmonious tableaux. The dormant Bottom, crouching tiger and lush tropical foliage remind me of Rousseau’s The Sleeping Gypsy, while the spotlighted moon gives a nod to George Méliè’s 1902 seminal film, A Trip to the Moon. The floating Titania with flowered gown resembles Botticelli’s Primavera, while the lush and painterly clouds are similar to the swirly storms of 18th century Indian miniature paintings. The naive playfulness and moonlit magical landscape, reminiscent of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, transports us to a place where illusion and magic reign. @edbaribeaud enchanting vision masterfully transmits the mystery, wit and mayhem of Shakespeare’s play. But, since this is a carré, the most important thing is how it ties, and Acte III ties like a dream.. like a dream that I’ll be delighted to wear this midsummer and beyond. Please scroll left to see some delightful details.


Yesterday I posted some closeups and info about my new Hermès carré, Acte III, Scene I, La Clarière which is part of the new Autumn/Winter 2018 collection. This glorious design by artist Édouard Baribeaud @edbaribeaud is whimsical, lush and elegant. Never mind that it’s based on one of the most renowned of Shakespeare’s plays and that alone makes it so special, but it ties beautifully and it is delightfully versatile mainly due to its quite different four corners and profusion of different textures and patterns. There is the ethnic vibe of the striped and dotted blankets, and the lush foliage of the trees, leafy vines, ferns and tiny flowers. Then there are the multiple wooden scenic drops with delightful patterns resembling foliage, Indian textiles and geometric tiles. Even Titania, Bottom, the lion and the moon are designs painted on the stage drops and curtains. And there is that glorious corner with the swirling clouds and fiery thunderbolts. The juxtaposition of all of these design elements create beautiful symmetries when tied. It is both fun and dramatic and this I love. Please scroll left to see some knots. Heads up to @mira.y.c for the tutorial on the bow knot on the fourth pic.

Oh thank you smallfry for posting a pocket square! Congrats on this lovely color! If you get a chance for a modshot it would be appreciated!



There is indeed a 90 in the Rose VIF

https://www.hermes.com/us/en/product/baobab-cat-scarf-90-H003225Sv06/

That’s the one I actually ordered, and it will arrive tomorrow but online the colors look a little different despite saying the same color names. Hopefully it will be as vibrant of a pink as this one.

 

[bunnycat]

Wrinkles Schminkles. It’s beautiful!!!!!

Thank you Pirula!

Is this scarf by Nigel Peake?

It is Nigel Peake eagle. It translated well to the large silk format.

My pleasure!


The sky on 10 is marine blue

Thank you fifi! Zebres is totally adorable. They picked a good one for a bandana. I think when we get your pics of CW 07 we're all gonna It's very moody (in a really good way).

This CW totally suits you!

I hope so too! Fingers crossed for you! (I think it will, several of the pocket size are dupe colors of the 90's and I think this one is).
