Since 1937, the silk scarves of French fashion house, Hermès, has become an iconic fashion accessory that is recognized all over the world. Hermès scarves and shawls have been collected and adorned by celebrities and royals throughout history, from Audrey Hepburn to Grace Kelly and even Queen Elizabeth II. These art pieces have proved to be timeless collectable pieces of history. With a little creativity, the Hermes cashmere GM shawl can also be used as a top, dress, head wrap, or countless other fashionable accessories.
Design History: Hermes Sous L'egide de Mars Shawl - At the height of the Italian Renaissance, a major artistic school was born and spread throughout Europe. Known as Mannerism (c.1520-1620), the new style was characterized in particular by its close attention to ornament and detail. Designed by a painter, the motifs were recreated in metal, using a wide range of techniques – repousse work, engraving, gilding, or damascening. Here, our invisible but richly-armored knight has taken the Twelve Labors of Hercules as his symbolic theme. The breastplate, shoulder- and kneepieces, shield and chamfrain are decorated with medallions recounting each episode. Created in association with the Musee de l'Armee in Paris, and inspired by princely armor of the French School, this carre – entitled "Sous l'Egide de Mars" (‘Under the Aegis of Mars') – is a tribute to the museum's exhibition of the same name, and the fine art of protecting oneself from the blows of enemies while impressing them with finery at the same time.
