Hermès iconic Les Cheyennes silk scarf by Kermit Oliver

About the Item

Since Since Dumas's first design in 1937, Hermès has employed a number of renowned artists to create the scarves featured in each season. Once an artist conceives a design, it's carefully engraved into the screen for printing (a process that takes approximately 750 hours). What results is a wearable work of art that tells the story of its artisans, and carries the legacy of a brand.l 1937, As of today more than 2,000 designs have been created. Interestingly, 80 year old Kermit Oliver, one of the most important living African-American painters, is the only American artist ever to have designed for Hermès.. Kermit Oliver, son and grandson of an Afro-Texan cowboy, became in the 1990s the designated painter of Hermès silk scarves for all subjects relating to Native Americans and the American West. A favourite and most important creative asset of the French company, Kermit Oliver reflects his Texas heritage and his interests in mythology and the spirit of Southwest America. His stunningly drafted naturalistic paintings often revolve around, people, plants and local fauna. The Herme`s scarf is a style icon. Worn by royalty and celebrities, coveted and admired, and now avidly collected, this deceptively simple square of silk is much more than just a fashion accessory: it is the stuff of legend. Hermes Les Cheyennes Kermit Oliver designed scarf. Hand rolled edges.
