A word from Diane

“Here Antoine de Jacquelot turns entomology into a major art. On this scarf, the ‘creepy-crawlies’ of our gardens become true precious stones pinned to the silk. With an approach both naturalistic and poetic, the artist places the honest ladybird and the handsome butterfly alongside the flea beetle and the weevil, revealing the hidden beauty of this summer biodiversity. A poetic, sunny scarf.”

Here is what Hermès says in the booklet accompanying this scarf (our translation):
“Just as good literature can be made from bad feelings, a very pretty summer design for a silk scarf can be obtained by pinning, beside the honest ladybird and the handsome butterfly, those ecological hooligans: the shield bug, terror of the nose; the aphid, plague of the rose bush; the red spider mite, scourge of the conifer; the flea beetle, sworn enemy of the vine; and the weevil, tormentor of the wheat... In art, there is no bad subject!”
