Hermès Reminds Us Why We Love Summer
While we endure winter’s bone-chilling cold, photographer Zoë Ghertner has thrown us a fantastical lifesaver of sorts. It’s a beautiful, dreamy reprieve in the form of a short film for Hermès called Ultramarine. Ghertner has been shooting ready-to-wear for the French fashion house for several seasons now, but this marks her first foray into filmmaking. The resulting work is a stunning ode to summer. If you’re a sucker for the season like I am, then you’ll want to watch this on repeat.
Ultramarine features the Spring/Summer collection designed by Christophe Lemaire. The lightness of the clothes and the breeziness of the setting dovetail together perfectly. A model overlooks the ocean from a cliff while wearing a crisp white cotton dress, her royal blue tunic billows in the wind, a tangerine confection is captured in the passing sunlight.
Watch this film and then be transported back to your happy place where the sand and surf seep through your toes. It will tide you over until the real thing returns in a mere 116 days. (Not that we’re counting or anything.)
