Hermes J’aime Mon Carré
There’s been a lot of internet buzz around Hermes’ scarf campaign and now a site has been launched (which is where the above image is pulled from). It features women from major cities, photographed out and about, living their lives. If ever there was evidence of the influence of streetwear style seeping into the mainstream, this would be it. The recognition of the movement is great, but I’d be so much more excited if the M.O.B., Hellz and Claws of the world were reaping the benefits of recognition from a movement they helped start, along with getting their hands on an ad budget the same size as Hermes. Maybe then the featured models wouldn’t all look so damn the same. I mean, do no black women love their scarves? (Which, note to other brands looking to cop off of street style…one of its distinguishing features is its diversity!) Images via Cadmus. More after the flip.
