Author: Menchari, Leïla
For more than 30 years, Leïla Menchari (born 1928) was responsible for designing the traffic-stopping window displays at Hermes's prestigious flagship store at 24 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honore in Paris. Featuring a preface by Hermes CEO Axel Dumas, this extensively illustrated, sumptuous publication focuses on 137 Hermes storefronts created by Leïla Menchari between 1978 and 2013. Born in Tunis and considering herself a citizen of the world, Menchari was inspired by her journeys to the Near and Far East, her encounters with extraordinary figures of the art world and her Beaux-Arts training. For Hermes she created Egyptian archaeological sites with sand and crumbling statues and iconic scenes of Paris with monuments crafted out of organza, among many other fantasies.
