MONSIEUR ET MADAME - Bali Barret, 2006, 2012, 2013

Bali Barret began designing scarves for Hermes in the mid-aughts.  This early work leveraged classic designs in unique combinations (Patchwork, Carre en Carres, Tout en Carre, A Cheval Sur Mon Carre).  She began creating her own designs when she became a full-time employee - and now deputy artistic creative director for women's.

M et M was very polarizing when it was originally issued in 2006, but it was later issued in the T-shirt fabric, and re-imagined with leopard print in silk twill and GM CS.
