STORY BEHIND
While Hermès has collaborated with artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, only one American has ever designed for the brand: Kermit Oliver, a postal worker and painter from Texas. Since the 1980s, Oliver has created numerous Hermès scarf designs that uniquely blend classical themes with American iconography. One of his most famous contributions is the “Madison Avenue” Silk Twill Scarf, issued in 2000 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Hermès’ Madison Avenue boutique. It was so beloved it was reissued in 2010 and continues to be a sought-after design among collectors.
