As Seen in: Sex & The City | Hermes "Smiles In Third Millenary" 90
Why I Love This Pattern: Not only is this scarf gorgeous with its vibrant washes of colors and even better (in my opinion) with pleating, but what makes it truly special is the story of its artist, Sefedine Ibrahim Alamin (known as Kwumi). Born in Sudan, Sefedine lost his parents to the civil war at age 14 and found refuge in a Doctors Without Borders camp. There, he began creating colorful chalk drawings of African landscapes that eventually reached the desk of Jean-Louis Dumas, then-chief executive of Hermès, who had previously visited the school. Hermès went on to collaborate with Sefedine on six unique scarf designs. Dumas shared a powerful observation, saying, "This boy was born during the war and saw nothing but death around him, but all of his designs are very peaceful." And I’ll add— not only are they peaceful, they are spectacular.
Why I Love This Size: The 90’s are known for their versatility, classic style and size, however the pleating changes the size of the 90. It makes the shape more like that skinny diamond and much easier to wear in all seasons. Here is a styling tutorial here and also here.
