This time it did not take me long to choose my favorite scarf from the Hermes Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The moment I saw the lovely Etude pour un Iris Arc-en-ciel I knew it had to be mine. The vibrant and cheerful colors of cw nr 13 (red/pink/turquoise) are just perfect for Spring.
Also, I am a colorful person and, in some way, these colors describe my personality and character. I feel very comfortable wearing this scarf.
Etude pour un Iris Arc-en-ciel was designed by Benoit Pierre Emery. It depicts three irises and a peony, coming together in a delicate combination. In Greek mythology, Iris is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods, just like Hermes. Iris symbolizes the link between earth and heaven. She was also the mediator between the gods and the humans. The elegant Iris flower was named after her because of the many colors of the rainbow where the Iris can be found. The symbolic meaning of the Iris flowers is therefore ‘I have a message for you’.
Below you will find some looks I created using my new Etude pour un Iris Arc-en-ciel scarf. I hope you enjoy the pictures and happy knotting!
Coming next: my Hermes scarf On a Summer Day from the Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
