So beautiful in these tones and with the brown sweater. Your fold really highlights the design.
What a beautiful cw of Savana Dance!
Another wonderful winter-themed beauty!
Many thanks, dear Karenska!An amazing cw that seems to eclipse the others. So beautiful.
Thank you Maedi, it's my favourite.So beautiful in these tones and with the brown sweater. Your fold really highlights the design.
Thank you, Lkb! It was a fun week despite being way too busy. I truly enjoyed hosting, though!
Thank you so much @Karenska! And thank you again for hosting our holiday scarves week!Very sophisticated hot chocolate, I think. Yummy, too. Love both of your looks, Lkb. And then you pisted La Vallee in that glorious green. Zounds!
Thank you for this wonderful introductory post on Jonathan Burton @xincinsin! And congratulations on your two new Hermès Parade! The first cw you show is my very favorite. I often say that this scarf design reminds me of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (at least the balloon figures do!)Hi, everyone! Ready to launch into the next theme?
New Kids on the Block: New designers or those with less than 5 designs
When we first had a theme along these lines, Ugo Gattoni and Alice Shirley were just starting their relationship with H. Now their scarf designs definitely number more than 5and some are ridiculously priced in the resale market.
The artist I'm showcasing for our opening is Jonathan Burton. IIRC, he has just reached 5 designs this season.
I got off to a slow start with Mr Burton. For some reason, none of the cws of his Hermes Tea Time or Tied Up in Knots caught my eye. I loved the designs but simply could not make up my mind about which to get. The cartoony drawings appealed to me, and I know I'm going to get a Tea Time sooner or later (that rabbit and dragon).
My first JB was Hermes Story. I still had a hard time with the cw but I bought this unusual lavender blue in the end.

Then the situation changed with Mystere au 24. Not only did I love the design, I actually wanted to get more than one cw. I settled for just one with red and blue in it - my safe zone colours. The design captured my interest because of its wacky combo of elements. Would I buy a 2nd cw? I might...

His latest design Hermes Parade hit all the right notes with me. I succumbed to two.
My first was the SE for the Melbourne boutique.

Then on my recent trip to Beijing, I found the cw that never came to my home H.

I really like that all the bobbing balloons form the shape of a horse.
Did I miss any of his designs?
Which are the new or newer designers attracting your attention? Or stretch the theme and tell us about those designers from decades ago who produced just one or two designs for H.
Beautiful. The tuck is my trick, too.What do you wear to mix up a batch of Unicorn Hot Chocolate? Why a scarf with a unicorn of course!!!
Vallee de Cristal in holiday colors plus pink and a white unicorn to boot!

We are having a busy day today and heading into NYC for a family birthday celebration. Coincidentally I am on theme with Stately Wheels by Stuart Patience, who has designed only two carrés for the house-- this and Faubourg of Dreams, a men's 100 CS shown recently by @ajaxbreaker and @EtsyBoss. Here is the "scarf story" for Stately Wheels-- once I read this (and also saw the burgundy color) I had to have it!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Buckingham Palace… but it's not just any horse, because the one at the center of this design is a Windsor Grey, the same horse that pulls the famous Gold State Coach. Its twirling reins frame the equally royal Queen Alexandra's State Coach and Diamond Jubilee State Coach. In the corners of the scarf, the English, Northern Irish, Welsh, and Scottish symbols, delicately placed on colored wheels, unite the four countries of the kingdom. The British designer Stuart Patience drew his inspiration from a visit to the Royal Mews, the stables of the royal family, which gave Hermès free rein for the composition of this scarf."
