Why I Love This Pattern: Wow, wow, wow. Sometimes you don’t have to know anything about Hermes scarves to know that one is special (even grail status)— the artistry speaks for itself. Aline Honore's design, showcasing 14 intricately ornamented elements of samurai armor, beautifully connects art and tradition. At the center is a stunning suit of armor crafted from bronze, iron, gold, silk, and lacquer—an extraordinary creation of the Myochin school, reserved for a daïmio during the Edo period. And what is incredible, even beyond that, is these are real pieces that are preserved at the Ann & Gabriel Barbier‑Mueller Museum in Dallas, United States. This private collection of samurai armor has been curated by the art‑collecting family, the Barbier-Muellers and it consists of nearly a thousand pieces making it one of the largest of its kind in the world.
