–SPECIAL– "HERMES" 90’s La musique des sphères silk twill printed shirt

Since its founding in 1837, Hermès has built its foundation on materials and craftsmanship cultivated in its harness workshop, and continues to update its serene elegance. Here, we introduce an exquisite piece where the beauty of the pattern stands out remarkably.

Using luxurious silk twill with a twill weave similar to a scarf, this high-art piece encapsulates the world of La Musique des Sphères, themed around celestial music, into a single shirt with exquisite precision.

The first thing that catches the eye is the uninterrupted design of the violin and sheet music from the front to the back. The curves of the instrument are arranged as if they are drawn toward the center of the body, so the pattern remains intact and three-dimensional both when the buttons are fastened and when worn open as a jacket.

The collar is a neat regular collar, and as indicated by the main label carefully sewn onto the yoke at the neck, the woven inscription of HERMÈS PARIS and the "MADE IN FRANCE" label on the left edge are aligned, clearly telling the origin as craftsmanship. Inside, the composition of 100% Soie and the size 40 are confirmed, along with an Hermes Japon agency label, ensuring its authenticity as a genuine item distributed at the time.

The fabric has a good firmness and smoothness characteristic of silk twill, and when it catches the light, the fine twill subtly stands out, preventing the beige tone from becoming monotonous. The line drawing of the print appears with shadows, which is a beautiful point.

Instead of a front placket, it features a facing design, and the buttons are made of thick mother-of-pearl, adding a sense of texture to the delicate pattern. The same buttons are lined up at the cuffs, creating an elegant finish to the hand movements, and the subtle © HERMÈS inscription on the cuff lining subtly indicates the maison's attitude of treating the pattern as a work of art.

The reason this piece can be considered from around 1996 to 2000 is that the design La Musique des Sphères was announced in 1996, and the Japanese care label uses the old JIS standard symbol system that was in operation from 1995 to 2016. Additionally, the tag design featuring a four-wheeled carriage logo woven into beige satin fabric was frequently used by Hermès from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, making it natural to place it in the few years immediately after its release.

And what is particularly noteworthy about MOOD's special collection is that it transforms the maison's core, "Kare," from mere print into tailored clothing, and only when the pattern design and print placement are precisely aligned to transfer the flat art onto the body's curves does it realize the intersection of craftsmanship and mode, allowing you to experience it firsthand.

Styling-wise, it is beautiful to focus on the quiet impact of the pattern by pairing it with neat wool slacks or midi-length skirts, and when layering with a structured long coat from above, it naturally enhances the elegance typical of Hermès. To change the atmosphere slightly, pairing leather bottoms or minimal tailored pieces to add tension to the material creates an urban balance reminiscent of the Margiela era.

Take this opportunity without fail.
