Le Chemin d’Hermès Fashion Manga
A vintage Japanese fashion manga from 1997: Le Chemin d’Hermès / The Way of Hermès by Keiko Takemiya. A strange and elegant little archive object, wrapped in the visual language of Hermès orange, ribbon, horses, luxury craft, and storybook illustration.
The book traces the world and mythology of Hermès through manga — part fashion history, part illustrated luxury fairytale. A beautiful piece for collectors of Japanese fashion books, designer ephemera, manga, fashion history, or anyone building a private little shelf of strange and precious things.
Lovely displayed on a vanity, bookshelf, dressing table, or beside jewelry, perfume, ribbons, and old fashion magazines.
