Hermès Ad


Don't go thinking this poster is a small image that I photographed closely. In fact it's a huge Hermès ad on a canvas made to hide a facade while they're doing work in the building behind it. When I saw it at rue du Général de Gaulle in Neuilly (a suburb just outside Paris) I could not help but stop and pull my trigger. Frankly, isn't this photo amazing?

  2. It sure is. It looks like you took this from a balcony looking down on the scene. Love it.

  4. Judging by the lamppost, this must be huge! Trust Hermes to go overboard—and trust you to find—and share— this. Merci, Eric!

  5. I didn't get it at first but if you enlarge the picture and get a look at the trees and the lamppost, you get the perspective. It's huge!

  6. it's beautiful ! I love the concept of a scarf being a horseman's cloak. The art director responsible is a genius!

  7. It is so beautiful. I remember one like this quite close to the Champs Elysee when I was over last. What a great idea, rather than looking at ugly renos! Thanks for posting!

  8. Pulled your trigger...;o)
    What a great, and HUGE, poster this is. I love the way facades are hidden in Paris. It is so much more inspiring than a simple scaffolding, I just wonder what it looks like from the inside ? Maybe that could be your task to find out, Eric ?

  11. Leave it to a Parisian--fabulous! Like the incredible Christmas windows at Printempts. went to see Macy's windows on Sunday and couldn't believe how bad they were in comparison. Is it so hard to be a little creative like they are in Paris????
