The stunning Le Premier Chant was designed by Sophia Andreotti, a young French artist and Edouard Baribeaud, a French-German artist currently living in Berlin. For more information about Baribeaud, please visit his website.
Cradled in the hushed tones of Midnight Blue and Ebony, the scarf’s palette serves as a dramatic prologue to the young woman’s first song‘s vibrant emergence. From the depths of her La Loba: the female wolf book, her melody takes flight, its warm amber hues a stark counterpoint to the hushed palette below, like flowers turning towards the sun or fireflies ascending towards the desert night sky.
According to Hermès© The Story behind
Sophia Andreotti and Edouard Baribeaud pay tribute to the creative energy of women, from Enheduanna, a Sumerian priestess and the earliest known poet whose name has been recorded, to painter Frida Kahlo and musician Patti Smith. As emblematic figures of their time, their view of the world and their freedom continue to inspire contemporary artists. The curtain opens and on stage a rock musician passionately sings to the world, her electric guitar propped nearby. From the microphone emerge parrots and butterflies in an eye-catching swirling motif; a wolf swiftly leaps into this scene brimming with art history references, particularly to Indian miniatures and traditional Mexican fabrics.
