From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2020 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Della Cavalleria is one of the most extraordinary treaties in equestrian history. Written by Georg Engelhard von Löhneysen, it was published in Bavaria in the very early 17th century.Conserved in the mile Hermes collection and illustrated with baroque engravings, it notably presents a series of German sleighs that feature fabulous creatures and richly ornamented horses. Playing with these pairings, the artist takes the extravagance further and assembles teams of horses and chimeric monsters, humorously giving a racquet to one, a yo-yo or a diabolo to another, creating outlandish visual combinations worthy of a game of exquisite corpse. This season, the design is presented in a new double-sided version.

From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2018 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Della Cavalleria is one of the most extraordinary treatises in the history of riding. Written by Georg Engelhard von Löhneysen, it was published in Bavaria at the beginning of the seventeenth century. This work, preserved in the mile Hermes collection, is illustrated by Baroque engravings that depict, among other things, German sleighs drawn by fabulous creatures and richly adorned horses. Playing with these parties, the designer pushes the extravagance even further, creating a collage of hybrid creatures with the bodies and heads of horses and mythical beasts. And because in 2018 Hermès celebrates the theme of games, Virginie Jamin has wittingly handed a racket to one, a yoyo to another and a diabolo to vet another - creating bizarre associations worthy of a game of "consequences".
