Aline Honoré for Hermès

2023

The Hermès Tulipomanie scarf tells the story of the 17th-century Dutch tulip craze, where tulips became a highly sought-after commodity and even a source of speculation. Designed by Aline Honoré, the scarf depicts a variety of tulips with intricate details and vibrant colors, capturing the essence of this historical phenomenon.

In 17th-century Holland, tulips became incredibly popular, with rare and exotic varieties fetching exorbitant prices. This led to a period of intense speculation and price inflation, known as "tulipmania".

The fascination with tulips extended beyond economics and into the arts. Artists depicted them in paintings, and writers celebrated their beauty and symbolic significance.

Hermès designer Aline Honoré drew inspiration from this historical event, creating the Tulipomanie scarf to capture the beauty and allure of the tulip.

The scarf features a delicate floral design with large blooming tulips in orange, yellow, and pale gray on a white background. The design aims to evoke the refinement of nature and the changing seasons.

By referencing tulipmania, the scarf connects to a period of intense passion, speculation, and artistic fascination, adding a layer of historical depth to the design.
