Notes: There are two mistakes in the Hermès descriptions below. In 2013 he is referred to as female in the seasonal scarf booklet. In 2024 the scarf is quoted as reading, "I Love Flowers I Think Flowers Love Me", but as we can see on the scarf, it should be "Like Me".
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2024/25 Collection Website Description: Leigh Cooke is a watercolorist from England, but that seems to go without saying... After all, it was 18th-century England that gave this art form its noble reputation. The watercolor charms with its transparency, fluidity, and lightness, a perfect mastery of movement that no amount of remorse can erase, and the poetry conveyed by its immediacy. Leigh Cooke's delicate lines and subtle use of shade and color perfectly capture the fragility of wildflowers. They reveal his message: "I love flowers, and I think flowers love me," he says. A stroke of genius as British as its author!
From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Leigh Cooke is an English watercolourist. A watercolourist, and English - naturally, since it was in England, in the eighteenth century, that watercolour was elevated to the status of a truly noble art. Inveterate travellers and pioneers of modern-day tourism, many British artists took their lightweight, portable watercolour boxes with them, painting landscapes along the way. Above all, watercolour's appeal lies in its irrevocable immediacy and poetry, its transparent fluidity and lightness of touch, requiring a perfect mastery of gesture (retouching and corrections are impossible). Leigh Cooke's delicate use of line, and her subtle treatment of shading and colour, perfectly express the fragility of wild flowers, spelling out their message. *like flowers, I think flowers like me' - a touch of humour as British as Its creator!
Why I Love This Size
The 70cm format is actually my favorite out of all the sizes. I find it small enough where I’m not overwhelmed by fabric, but big enough when I can still do a few fancier knots. The 70cm also uses a lighter weight silk than any of the other sizes, which gives it a casual effortless look. I always recommend this size for petites as well, it’s almost a petite version of a 90cm. But even if you’re taller it works perfectly too.
