Scarves Scarf of The Day 2024 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

Full weekly 2024 scarf-theme calendar is available here

 

[Karenska]

I wanted to share something interesting.

As I was preparing for this week, I realized I own several hundred Hermes horse-themed scarves. But I have been an Hermes collector for a lot longer than I have been an equestrian, and I have never targeted equestrian-themed scarves in my collecting, even after I started horseback riding.

So I began wondering how many horse-themed scarves Hermes makes. Since I didn't gave the time to look at every single Hermes scarf, I thought I would at least look at the current offerings on Hermes.com (the U.S. version). The scarves are from this season and some recent seasons.

Out of 62 unique SKUs, 40, or 65%, are equestrian-themed. That's a lot more than I had expected. It's fascinating Hermes maintains their heritage to such an extent.

The detailed list below:

Today, I wanted to talk about horses used for human entertainment. We should appreciate these majestic creatures providing transportation and entertainment for centuries.

First of all, we have the circus with En Piste. It’s been quite a while since I have been to a circus, but I don’t think horses are a huge part of it anymore. In fact, Annie Faivre’s Circus doesn’t actually feature horses.

View attachment 6001201


In the same vein, we have Peuple du Vent. I think it is technically not a circus, but reminds me of it. Here is an interesting fact: there is a breed of horses called Gypsy Vanner that is believed to used to pull carts for the Romani people. There has been a movement to rename them due to the word Gypsy in the name, but I am not sure there is a commonly acceptable name yet.

View attachment 6001202

Then, we have perhaps the strangest sport Hermes has done — Bozkachi. Bozkachi is basically soccer played on horseback with a goat carcass instead of a ball. Sorry for the imagery. It’s common in Afghanistan.

(This came from my laundry pile, so apologies this a bit wrinkled).

View attachment 6001203

In other esoteric-to-us sports, we have jousting in Chevalerie.

View attachment 6001208

I have always joked that I would be a lot more interested in golf if I could ride on horseback from one hole to another! Sounds like the early golf players had the right idea!


View attachment 6001232

I will talk about racing separately, but here is one scarf featuring the famous race courses in Deauville:

And to finish us off, we have these toy horses in Tournez Manege and Luna Park!

I am sharing my only two 140 cm silks……Honore’s Sieste and Henry’s Chemins. I never wear them but brought them out for the week’s theme. I have not learned to wrangle this much silk.

Let’s talk about classical horseback riding and how it is connected to the military.

Historically, being a good rider was an essential property of a gentleman, and even more critical for soldiers and military leaders. After all, wars were fought in horseback, like, you know, the Norman conquest:

View attachment 6002814

It wasn’t just the actual soldiers who rode in horseback, it was also the musicians who accompanied the troops to drum up some courage — like very literally in this Le Timbalier. I wonder how Tjerrie would feel if I tried to ride him while playing a musical instrument…

View attachment 6002815

Of course, while everyone could ride, not everyone was good at it. Napoleon was said not to be a great equestrian (although of course perfectly adequate to ride into and win major battles), partially because he grew up in a less affluent family and also because he came from the artillery corps.

Of course, that didn’t stop Hermes from portraying Napoleon on horse back in Victoires et Scènes Militaires de la Vie de Napoléon, including in this scene of him riding into Moscow.

View attachment 6002818

As an aside, this portrait of Napoleon Crossing the Alps bothers every single equestrian I know because Napoleon’s legs (his heels in particular) are in the most abysmal position. He actually didn’t pose for it though, but that’s a small consolation.

View attachment 6002821

(He also actually crossed the Alps on a mule while being led by a guide, but that wouldn’t make for a very glamorous portrait, wouldn’t it?)

What is actually happening in this portrait to make it impressing is that the horse is doing a levade — standing on its hind legs. It’s different from a horse rearing on its own; this is an advanced move that is often used in portraiture. You can see the same thing here in Joachim Murat’s portrait in Cavalerie Française:
View attachment 6002817


(At least his leg position is actually good)

Joachim Murat features in an unusually high number of Hermes scarves, directly or indirectly. In this Plaques à Sabler, we see sand plates that were used as templates to mark the stables of high-ranking officers. The ones featured are part of the Hermes museum, and they belonged to Murat.

View attachment 6002816

Anyway, back to the levade.

It showcases the rider’s skill and the rider’s ability to control nature. And it looks impressive. There is a theory it could have been used to protect the rider from the sword or a bullet, but many think it’s purpose it to intimidate and look cool.

Which is why the traditional riding academies still teach it.

There are four famous classical riding schools remaining in the world (the so-called Big Four)

• Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre in Spain
• Portuguese School of Equestrian Art
• Cadre Noir in Saumur, France
• Spanish Riding School — which is, confusingly, in Vienna

If these sound familiar, that is because every single one has at least one Hermes scarf dedicated to it (and the next three pictures are from my Cadre Noir):

These schools teach the most classical definition of dressage, where they teach things like cabriole:

View attachment 6002819

Courbette or pesade (could be either, I think):

View attachment 6002820

(At least this is what I think they are, these are not taught in the standard dressage, so my understanding is limited here)

These days, these riding academies keep the tradition alive by performing in the shows. Cadre Noir serves as a training facility for world-class French equestrians as well.


View attachment 6002849
For decades, these school only had male students, but now they accept female students as well, which is fantastic. Perhaps Hermes will reissue some of those scarves with female riders next!

I am very late to this party which ended a week ago but I want to thank @AnnaE for a fascinating and chockful week of horse and equestrian information, and to see your many examples of wonderful scarves from your outstanding collection. And thank you for bringing Tjerrie along - what a beauty. Frisians are some of my favorite horses. So is the Icelandic horses, the only breed of horse in Iceland and its stock goes back to the Viking settling of Iceland. These are the friends I made along the way of my voyage. In the last one, that is the spectacular Reynisfyara Beach.

Thank y

And, so we come to the end of our Hot Stuff week… And, I must say, we were very hip with our offerings of H designers and scarves…
Thanks so much for allowing me to host… It has been great fun!

I’d like to end with a couple of artists who produced wonderful designs for Hermès: Natsuno Hidaka and Henri de Linares.

I own only one design by Natsuno Hidaka, but it is superb and a Grail for many: Turandot. As an opera lover, naturally I had to! I own two CWs of this beauty which was inspired by Puccini’s masterpiece.

I also own just one scarf design created by Henri de Linares: the amazing Plumes II

And, finally, some wonderful designs whose titles begin with the letter H…

@Living.la.vida.fifi thank you for such a wonderful week!

Today is probably the only day cool enough to wear a scarf. Wore Brides de Gala today.

 

[AnnaE]

Golf on horses . Maybe polo?

Oh no. To play polo, one needs at least three horses. It’s wild. Plus, they have to be completely different horses from what Tjerrie is. I will stick to dressage

Thank you @Living.la.vida.fifi for a great "Hot Stuff" H designer week. I enjoyed getting hip with H designs and as always I learned a lot and expanded the wish list! For my final post I am going to share a new-to-me Les Cabanes, by François Houtin from SS 2019. Of the incredibly beautiful CSGM designs that I have collected to date, this one is without a doubt my very very very favorite. From the color and the toile-like feeling, to the artist's style and the fairytale quality, I have been utterly enchanted. I can't say this in front of the others, of course, but the heart loves what the heart loves, right? If anyone has the Histoire de Carré, I would appreciate it! In the meantime, I entertain myself inventing my own tales for each of the darling little "cabanes"...
A big thank you to @Croisette7 for the inspiration and to @MAGJES, for further enablement. Delighted to be twin and sister to you both. Bonus shoe pairing because, well, it is too good not to share!

It looks amazing on you and what a darling shoe pairing. I passed on this design because there isn’t a living thing presented. 😳

 

[Maedi]

All so beautiful, Fifi. We are twins with Axis Mundi and sisters with Peuple de Vent. Christine Henry is one of my very favorite H designers and I collected her work from early on. How nice that you have corresponded with her and bought one of her trees of life paintings - it’s exquisite. I wrote her once to tell her how much I admire her work and she responded in her lovely way. (As did Alice Shirley!). If you look at Ms. Henry’s website under her category Légendes et mythologies, she includes her Cave Felem mosaic painting and talks about how Jean-Louis Dumas chose it as the model for her first H design - 1993. Your kitties are all so beautiful. I miss my cats so much. No pets right now but someday soon. I cat sit two sweethearts and the little girl across the street visits, so I am not completely bereft. Some of my treasured CH collection.
Rives Fertiles - I do want this in the silvery blue cw someday.

19 May 2024 Hot Stuff: being hip with Hugo & Henri & other H designers (Hajine Katagiri, Henri d’Origny, Henri de Linares, Hilton McConnico, Hubert de Watrigant, Hugo Grygkar)

Happy Sunday, dear Scarfies! First of all, I wish to begin by thanking @AnnaE for a marvelous horses week! Each and every of her posts were filled with great information! Not only were we treated so some amazing silks, but we also took a deep dive into the equestrian world.

As I’ve stated before, I love SOTD topics like the one we will be exploring this week for it makes for both a structured and fun experience. A couple of months ago we explored the letter D here and it was an enlightening experience. I feel a sense of discovery and adventure as we take a letter of the alphabet and delve into our silken stash with it creating interesting groupings and categories.

I feel that we are introduced to designers and scarves that we may not be familiar with. We are also guided into discovering pieces in our collections that we may have neglected and may see in a new light.

And now I’d like to get started with a post featuring several of the scarves I took with me recently to Spain because, serendipitously enough, they are all appropriate for this topic! Of course, I took them because they are Spanish-inspired designs but it’s so cool that all of them fit this week’s theme! I am blown away…

First of all, the fabulous Feria de Sevilla scarf was designed by Hubert de Watrigant. Naturally, I took it with me since I was visiting the legendary Feria de Sevilla that takes place there every year two weeks after Easter. Here I am displaying it right in front of the iconic entrance gate to the Feria de Sevilla fairgrounds
View attachment 6003621
View attachment 6003622

And here I am wearing it when I visited the astonishing Setas de Sevilla. The amazing piece, constructed largely out of Finnish pine, was designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in 2011. It is considered the world’s largest wooden structure.
Las Setas consists of six gigantic “parasols” inspired by the vaults of the Cathedral of Sevilla and the ficus trees in the Plaza de Burgos. One can stroll through it to get an inside view and magnificent panoramas of the city

And, here a collage of pictures from La Feria de Sevilla
View attachment 6003638

Hubert de Watrigant’s Plaza de Toros celebrates the Spanish bullfighting tradition. Though a controversial “sport” bullfights are held in Sevilla throughout the Feria de Sevilla week. Below, I show mod shots of the scarf, the last one as I wore it on my trip to Jerez de la Frontera to the sherry wineries and to see the fabulous show of Andalusian horses at the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre

I took Aline Honore’s magnificent Les Jardins d’Andalousie on my visit to the enchanting patios and gardens of Cordoba. Notice how the tiled fountain which was in one of the gardens of Sevilla’s Casa de Pilatos perfectly echoes the design at the center of the scarf. We were delighted throughout by the intoxicating fragrance of the orange trees everywhere
View attachment 6003633
View attachment 6003639

Besides featuring scarves created by artists whose first or last names begin with the letter H, I also thought it would be fun snd appropriate this week to include scarves whose titles begin with the letter H. So, on that subject, I brought along to Spain two of my three CWs of Hola Flamenca by Dimitri Rybaltchenko. Below, I unfurl one of them in the magnificent Plaza de España of Sevilla. I wore another
CW of Hola Flamenca the day I visited a few sites in Sevilla’s historic center. Here I wear it sitting in the densely tiled central courtyard of the amazing Casa de Pilatos as well as in the magnificent Alcazar de Sevilla. Quite appropriately, we saw a fantastic flamenco show at one of Sevilla’s legendary tablaos: El Arenal

View attachment 6003637

This promises to be a great week where we will learn about some fascinating Hermès artists and see a parade of beautiful designs. I would also like to remind everyone that we are always welcome to share our scarfmail and SOTDs whether they be on theme or not for every scarf is on point here in our marvelous silken gathering place

What a fabulous introduction, dear Fifi, says Karenska, late to this party as well. Such wonderful collages, scarves and information. Amazing.

Got a little behind here ~~~

Today, a beloved H designer who has created many popular, delightful scarves. She is also a painter and is the sweetest, kindest person. When I was getting ready to write up a post about her design L’Arbre de Vie for Instagram I couldn’t find the customary “story behind” text that Hermès normally provides, so I messaged her and she provided a beautifully detailed text in her own words describing it.

She also sent me the H “story behind” Axis Mundi for me to use in a future post. When I posted both designs on IG she personally messaged me thanking me and complimenting me… So gracious and thoughtful!

I purchased from her this beautiful piece which was issued as a limited edition entitled Maahi, Le Grand Arbre de la PluieView attachment 6006772

Here is Christine Henry’s amazing Axis Mundi. Trees are Christine
Henry’s favorite subject and this is a quintessential piece featuring a giant oak tree at the center of creation

The romantic and poetic Fleurs de Giverny takes its inspiration from Monet’s lush and idyllic gardens at his residence in Giverny

And continuing to the south of France with Pique Fleuri de Provence, a design whose graphics echo the colorful textiles produced in that region
View attachment 6006738

Cave Felem has become a coveted Grail for many. The mosaic trompe l’oeil graphics are amazing and the cat pictured in the center is captivating and resonates with all of us that have feline babies. I also adore all of the darling critters that appear along the borders. The design was based on the famous Cave Canem mosaic found in The House of the Tragic Poet in Pompeii

And, just because, here is a pic of my black kitty, Mimi that I took yesterday … I had set aside some baskets to clean and put away and found Mimi who had quickly settled inside of them… I mean, how could I not get the scarf in this CW?

Also, as some may remember, I lost my dearest love Ponki in January to terminal illness… He was only 6 years old, which was extra hard for us… Well, providentially, a week after we heard about a kitty up for adoption and welcomed Miso to our home… Below a pic of Ponki followed by Miso

And, moving on to one of my top 5 shawls of all time: L’Arbre de Vie. I searched far and wide for this one and it remains one that I constantly reach for and repeatedly take on my travels… A true workhorse in my collection… Here I am with @Pirula wearing it in Paris

Such a wonderful post!!! That’s so best that you’d been in touch with her. That Maahi is AMAZING. That’s a scarf?

I was very sad back then to hear about Ponki. My cats are turning 15 this year and I can’t imagine life without them. But I’m so glad you’ve added the beautiful Miso to your life!

I can't wait for the 140! Thanks for the info! Love the way you've showcased the peach and grey side.


Beautiful!!! Love this- perfect color choice for it too. (PS - see my post upthread a few posts about the maxi twillies. Same thing applies to these stoles.) Here's Mythiques Phoenix stole styled for heavy summer heat:

Thank you re: Orphee! Remind me, do you own one of the 90s?

Also, I love the way you’ve tied that shawl with the two knots. Is there a name for that arrangement where I could look up how to do it?

My SOYD, not on theme but in keeping with dinner with family and friends in Belgravia in Bloom I wore Faubourg Tropicale and H clic bangle.

Thank you for hosting a very fun week!

I am sharing my only two 140 cm silks……Honore’s Sieste and Henry’s Chemins. I never wear them but brought them out for the week’s theme. I have not learned to wrangle this much silk.
