THE DEPARTURE WALTZ Two lovers embracing like Rodin’s The Kiss, while a sailor straight out of Jean Genet’s Querelle discreetly peeps at them, an elegant couple rushing to board on time, a bell boy struggling with a huge hat box like Atlas carrying the earth, a kid waving at distant boats sailing off into the horizon... For the summer, the windows at Goyard’s historic Parisian comptoir at 233, rue Saint-Honoré turn into an imaginary departures dock where endearing robots escaped from a childhood dream replace human beings, and frantically prepare for an imminent cruise on an ocean liner headed for the south seas, or perhaps a space ship bound for outer space... Between past and future, tradition and modernity, the golden age of cruise ships and the travels of tomorrow, the whimsical mise-en-scène evokes the enduring commitment of Maison Goyard to uphold a certain Art of Travelling in style. #goyard #sogoyard #timelessstyle #timelesscraftsmanship
