Hermès Cheval Mirage Scarf

The very picture of metamorphosis: this delicate, trembling cloud, this mist in motion, is in fact a horse’s head, glimpsed fleetingly, vanishing as we approach to take a closer look, reappearing as we step back. Framed by halters, the animal seems released: the straps encircle the empty air, a reflection, a mirage of the creature itself. No doubt about it, this carré is a symbol of freedom. And as Dimitri Rybaltchenko suggests when talking about his design, his original idea was to realise a dream we’ve all shared, at one time or another: to catch a passing cloud in our lasso.
