Musical notes and colours show close affinities: abstract art pioneer Wassily Kandinsky evoked the musicality of colour in modern painting, and composer Olivier Messiaen celebrated the perpetual dialogue of sound and colour.
Virgine Jamin’s design evokes the pipes and bowls of a
complex still, or a curious arrangement of organ pipes. ‘Colours are musical
notes,’ she says. If so, then the silk carrés of Hermès, with their
endlessly-inventive, perfectly-balanced chromatic harmonies, are alive with
resonant, vibrant sound, inspiring a poetic choreography in the wearer.
Here,
each colour bears a hint of the nuance to come, just as each step heralds the
next.
