Stethoscopes, bones, skin. These are not the usual inspirations one hears about in high jewellery. But it’s those influences – raw, unexpected and a little morbid – that give Hermes’ latest high jewellery collection Lignes Sensibles (“sensitive lines” in French) a distinctive edge. Last month, Hermes held its first high jewellery exhibition in Singapore, featuring this 45-piece collection.
Pierre Hardy, creative director for jewellery and shoes, affirms that his aim for the collection was to “reverse how people typically think about jewellery”.
He says, “With this collection, I wanted to consider how you feel when you wear a piece of jewellery. Some days you want to be discreet and others, you want to feel strong. I also wanted the jewellery to be like an interface or a bridge between you and the outside world.”
