FANTASY WORLD

Measuring 90cm x 90cm, this playful Hermès Story women’s silk twill scarf features a fanciful, storybook-style design created by the award-winning English illustrator Jonathan Burton. His creation gives a teasing nod to social media, and its many influencers, by depicting an acrobatic pyramid composed of a hobby horse rider – decked out like a 21st Century Marie-antoinette – and her various animal companions, which include a giraffe, a tiger, a pair of monkeys, several birds, and a bevy of butterflies. Together, this colourful collection of characters find themselves perched precariously atop a snow-capped mountain, attempting to take the ultimate fantasy selfie. It’s a wobbly balancing act that commands admiration, as demonstrated by the many likes billowing out of the young lady’s smartphone.
