Brides de gala is without doubt the house’s most celebrated carré. It’s subject? The equestrian world, of course. The flamboyantly decorative bridles, and the perfection of the composition, capture the essence of the timeless Hermès spirit. Its title, short and to the point, has the same, direct impact as the dazzling show bridles themselves, evoking the clink of buckles and chains to the rhythmic, majestic beat of the horses’ hooves.
