Serva, I was able to go today. Thank you for the information. If anyone is planning to go, they are open until 8 pm so it was nice to pop in on my way to cocktails and dinner.

So happy you had the possibility to visit the exhibition. I’ve always loved the peacock Kelly, amazing to finally se it in reality. I also found a new ”dreambag”
My BFF loved the first one with the African vibe
Did you have a favourite PP? Going to Paris next week but since the exhibition closes on Sunday I cannot revisit it.
I had a sudden urge to go to Marrakech after the exhibition but DBF is more keen on going to the Caribbean. Perhaps we compromise and choose South Africa [emoji3]
The displays were all so breathtaking. I couldn’t choose just one. I think seeing them this way was even more impressive than seeing them in the windows. I could really appreciate all of the details.
I am so sorry to miss this exhibition. You and Serva are so fortunate to be able to view this !
Serva, are these two separate books on the exhibition, or just english/french versions? I would like to order one sinc3 I cannot be there in time to see it! Such beautiful images - thank yo7 for sharing them!
Same version different language. I intend to read them both one day, just like my double copy scarf books
The book has a lot of illustrations, after all Leila Menchari worked with the window displays for over 4 decades and her last window was for Christmas 2013. Hope you can find the book. It will be available at FSH for some time and perhaps at Amazon too.I completely agree with you. Naturally the window displays (illustrations in the book) had a lot of details that the exhibitions didn’t have but it definitely gave a taste of the style of Leila Menchari and had some breathtaking examples of the work of different artists. The quartz pegase enclosed was stunning and a favourite for many people.
The pic doesn’t show how magnificent this display was.
Going to Paris on Monday. This is my last pic from the exhibition. Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend [emoji3]
Gorgeous. Really reminds me of the Christian Renonciat collaborations. I just got the Leila Menchari book in the mail last week (was so happy to see it was available for sale now on the H website). Already halfway through it- it is an engrossing read.
So glad you enjoyed it Croisette, it was my first Hermès exhibition and I hope there will be many more. I was hoping there would have been a Leila Menchari 90cm silkscarf for sale at Grand Palais but this time the exhibition wasn”t about silks.
So happy you got the book Hermezzy, plenty of illustrations. I will read it during Christmas holiday.
