Rei Kawakubo for Hermès

The founder of avant-garde label Comme des Garçons, Rei Kawakubo, has teamed up with Hermès and will be creating two-limited collections of Hermès' iconic silk scarves (or carrés), which will be available in retail in February, 2013. 

Comme des Carrés collaboration will give birth to two collections: 'Noir et Blanc' and 'Couleur' (the latter meaning 'Colour' and the former 'Black and White'). These will be sold exclusively in Comme des Garçons stores in Tokyo, New York and Paris. The 'Coleur' will also be available in London's Dover Street Market, of which the founder is none other but Rei Kawakubo.

We cannot wait to see them in London.

Hermes - a Leica Special Edition

Following the Leica MP ‘Edition Hermès’ (in 2003) and the Leica M7 ‘Edition Hermès’ (in 2009), this is the third in a line of premium special editions of the Leica M-System to be created in collaboration with the renowned Parisian house Hermès. The Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’ is being offered as a strictly limited edition. The limited numbers, unique product design and premium finishing with numerous extras make this a truly special edition in every respect.

The first of the Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’ sets will be available in May 2012, in a worldwide limited edition of 300. In addition to the camera, the set includes a silver-anodised Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens. 

This will be followed by a very special set, which will be available in June 2012. The Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’ – Série Limitée Jean-Louis Dumas, in a strictly limited edition of only 100 sets, is a celebration of the friendship and collaboration between Jean-Louis Dumas, the former president of Hermès, who died in May 2010, and Leica Camera AG. The camera in this set is accompanied by three lenses: a Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/ 2 ASPH., a Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. and a

Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH., all featuring a stunning silver-anodised finish.
