It definitely looks Ferragamo-esq.View attachment 5021466
I like the scarf, but orange boxes aside, to me it reads more like a Ferragamo design, rather than Hermes.
Like probably all on this thread, very excited about the Duo Cosmic design, even if the version for the "hoi polloi" is not printed on that amazing jacquard weave special edition for the Japanese boutique.
@hotgalaxy - There are many Free-mason-ry symbols on it from the handshake, to the owl, and lion, point within a circle, the all seeing eye, etc. Even the pomegranate.

One of the main things that hit me on Danse des A when it came out in the 90 cm was the center figure with the lion and how it resembled the "Strength" card in the (various) Tarot decks.

Strength (tarot card) - Wikipedia

I didn’t know that before because I wasn’t into Tarot cards but that must have been an inspiration. From the designer’s Instagram:

I like the black / red one!The green/ black Encadre Epérons CSPM is the only one so far.
The men's pieces have been awesome for the past several seasons!Some quick thoughts:
Hermes Dress Code: I love the quirky portraits along the side, but not the woman's face in the middle. I might get the twilly instead which only has the cute portraits. The pirate tie is definitely one NOT to do with this scarf, as then the models end up with a giant nose on their foreheads
Lazy Leopardesses: Eeeeeeeek those creepy eyes staring at you! NO THANKS.
Encadre Eperon d'Or: I love the 100cm cashmere/silk format and this Encadre format is also cool. The center of the scarf is hard to highlight anyway, so it doesn't bother me to have that be blank. I think they should lower the price for those though, given that the majority of the scarf has no design.... CW5 with the black middle looks stunning with the model's black sweater.
And once again, I find the men's scarves a billion million times more appealing than the women'sThe women's designs are kind of old-fashioned and boring to me - stuff like Grand Tralala, Lift Profile etc would look anachronistic in my wardrobe. (YMMV of course!!) The men's designs seem so much more modern and versatile. I am a goner for the cute pac-man esthetic of Faubourg Party and super tempted by CW 2, but trying to resist by telling myself that I already have TWO blue men's scarves with a bright yellow contrast hem... Quatre Chevaux CW7 with that emerald hem is also gorgeous...
Plus those men's fringed 65cm cashmere/silk scarves!! LOVE LOVE LOVE that bright contrast fringe in yellow, fuschia, red... What a cool design.
@ajaxbreaker - It is so very funny to me that you think the Lazy Leopardesses have creepy eyes, because that's how I feel about the eyes of the leopards on the 140 Les 12 Leopards shawl. I really like the blue eyes on the leopards in Lazy Leopardesses, especially in that deep dark blue or dark grey version of it (not sure what color the background is, actually).Some quick thoughts:
