I finally got around to framing my Xmas card from last year and since there isn't a thread dedicated to Ugo Gattoni (http://www.ugogattoni.fr/), I'm starting one!
In any case, Ugo Gattton's very first scarf, Hippopolis debuted in FW 2015.
Ugo Gattoni’s Hippopolis Hermes Scarf
There was no doubt in Ugo Gattoni’s mind what the theme for his first Hermès scarf would be. At the centre of his megapolis stands none other than a gigantic monument dedicated to the horse.
This design, each tiny part of which holds a surprise in store, perfectly reflects his aesthetic universe: a phantasmagoric world where the eye wanders freely, pausing at each sketch, each architectural fragment. With a surrealist spirit and a healthy dose of humour, Ugo Gattoni carries us away into labyrinths reminiscent of a mischievous Esche
Text by Hermès

His next scarf was Les Bains d'Hermes, a mens 100cm cotton/silk scarf. This was released in SS 2017.
The most recent scarf he designed is none other than Le Grand Prix du Faubourg (SS 2018), the very design that was used for 2017's Xmas card. I figured I should get around to framing it before Xmas is upon us!
Here's the beautiful card framed with non-glare UV glass front and back:
DESIGN HISTORY (Text by Hermès)
Ugo Gattoni loves visual games, optical pile-ups. His extremely delicate, controlled hand and his whimsical spirit become the creators of abundant dream worlds where every corner conceals a surprise, a strange detail. “An oneiric race through a phantasmagorical Faubourg” aptly captures the spirit of the design. A fanciful profusion from which emerge architectural forms, advertising hoardings, stories and anecdotes from all the epochs of this Parisian street, where Hermès opened almost two centuries ago. Crowds surge around the bend of the Faubourg, colourful, festive, dynamic. Racing cyclists cheered on by the crowd, flying boats, Zeppelins and balloons occupy every inch of the scarf.
Let's just say I'm very grateful that this design was used as last year's card as I was then able to skip buying the 90cm silk for it! I would also be able to enjoy this on a daily basis now that I have it framed!
Now I know there's quite a few Ugo Gattoni fans here, so let's share pics of your beautiful silks by Ugo Gattoni please!
