Well, this was a totally new, mad, and fun experience for me! I created a specially designed window for the flagship Hermès store in Ginza Tokyo. Conceived around the theme of “lightness and joy” I created a “head above the clouds” where the moon and sun become eyes watching fan people (and a hot air balloon carrycot) dance on clouds. I wanted to transform the store windows of this Renzo Piano designed building into a giant face and took inspiration from European medieval manuscripts on astronomy, the history of hot air ballooning and my visits to the Fan Museum in Greenwich (totally recommend a visit if you haven’t been). Sad that I was not able to go to Tokyo for the install, as was the original plan (thanks covid). So will never see this in person, but very grateful to Hermès Japan for the opportunity. © Photo by Satoshi Asakawa Created for Maison Hermès Ginza, May 2022 @hermes #hermesjapon
