The artistic duo Zim & Zou filled the Hermes brand boutique with their miraculous leather creatures...
This artistic duo from France presented its magic in the form of magical installations in Hermes boutique in Shanghai. Numerous species of fauna, from large birds and butterflies, to fish and insects are carefully made of hundreds of pieces of paper and leather, which were scrap from Hermes manufacturing facility in Paris.
The layer-to-layer carefully cut feathers, fins and legs in the form of an eclectic spectrum of colored lively sculptures in the form of a peacock, an owl, a caterpillar and a hermit crab is what you can see in this boutique. In the shop window, you can see a number of interesting and artistic pieces, which attract the attention of many passersby. That scene is more reminiscent of the setting of a museum than in a boutique in the main shopping street. Considering the thematic perspective, all windows of the fashion brand are under the influence of nature - the two main shop windows reflect the water and air as the main theme, while the two smaller consecrated ground. Orange fox, which has been seen in the Hermes boutique in Barcelona, was presented again in one of the smaller window.
This project was very hard work for the artistic duo - it took three months of precise and delicate work to its completion, as well as support local artists, who have worked together to create this collection of handmade creatures.
