Discover how life imitates art in unexpected moments of visual synchronicity

A variety of illustrations animate the spring/summer 2024 Objets collection from Hermès, with these platform calfskin sandals sporting a sketch of the maison’s 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré façade in Paris. 

Artist Cynthia Talmadge stokes a heightened sense of emotion with her layered environments and contemplative paintings of melancholic settings such as in Still Life with Trellis (2019).
