Hermes, London

The latest scheme at Hermes must be one of our absolute favourites of 2015.  Beautifully produced props of animals in, we are guessing here, 2mm ply.  There also appear to be references to Salvador Dali if the image above is anything to go by with a giant tortoise on skateboards, a tie wearing Emu and  a Blonde wig wearing creature (among others) all demonstrating that even luxury brands have a sense of humour.  We're guessing that this is the last scheme of the year and what a way to end an amazingly visual year for this brand.  We appreciate that our images are a little small here (constraints of blogger sadly) however our video shows this scheme in a lot more detail.  Check it out below or here via this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da0Dlca73hA
