Background
From harness to jewellery, there is but a stride. Metal has always held a place of prominence alongside leather. It serves as the link facilitating dialogue and unhindered movement. jewellery perpetuates this freedom of movement.
As jewellers of shapes, Hermès reinterprets its saddlery tradition by drawing inspiration from the design of harnesses and stirrups to create personal, unique collections.
In the brief, Hermès entrusted us with the mission of reinstating jewelry as quintessential Hermès objects, mirroring our approach with Hermès Beauty campaigns.
Idea
Cavalier jewellery sounds like an oxymoron... A luxury Maison shouldn't say that!
This campaign deliberately twists the codes of high jewellery. A precious brooch is casually tucked behind the ear like a cigarette, or a hand wearing an iconic bracelet grasps the powerful leg of a horse... there is a reappropriation of the object in one instance, and a bold parallel in another.
From one season to the next, Hermès allows itself unusual gestures in a highly codified world, to stage unexpected, impertinent associations. It is this cavalier attitude that embodies the spirit of the Maison — always elegant but never taking itself too seriously — and paints a unique portrait of the Hermès Woman.
Strategy
No data, no targets, only one purpose: express the identity of Hermès through tactical campaigns.
Execution
The pinnacle of excellence and the most seasoned talents at the service of the idea: Craig McDean and Richard Burbridge, masters of portraiture photography, bring an edgy perspective to the campaign, alongside the expertise and keen eye of Marie-Amélie Sauvé in styling.
Outcome
No data, no targets, only one purpose : express the identity of Hermès through tactical campaigns.
