CARRÉ HERMÈS爱马仕国际方巾设计大赛

CARRÉ HERMÈS爱马仕国际方巾设计大赛报名正式启动
2019年3月8日 – 2020年3月1日 

 

今年，爱马仕将首次在国际范围内举办方巾设计大赛，比赛面向擅长手工艺的所有英才翘楚：绘图师、艺术家、插画师、图案设计师等。爱马仕将购买大赛获奖者的设计原稿，并会将其印于品牌未来一个方巾系列作品上。

自1937年以来，爱马仕方巾系列已印制了2000多幅原创图绘。这将是一场关于构图技巧与叙述能力的历练，每一位图绘者都能借此良机脱颖而出。在不断的交流对决中，来自世界各地的专业年轻图案设计师或绘图师们，必能成功地将自己的才华投入到了这场与时俱进的创作之中。

正如爱马仕艺术总监Pierre-Alexis Dumas所说，方巾图案的绘制，首先是一片自由发挥的空间，它因矛盾的碰撞而成长：“图案看似谜题却又明晰无比，简单却又丰富，构题明显却有玄机暗藏于细枝末节；置于有限的空间里却全然自由无束，演绎无尽、创意无限。”

LE GRAND PRIX DU CARRÉ HERMÈS
C A L L - F O R - E N T R I E S

LE GRAND PRIX DU CARRÉ HERMÈS
International scarf design competition
8th March 2019 – 1st March 2020

Information on how to enter and prizes form part of the OFFICIAL RULES. Please read them carefully before entering.

For the first time ever, Hermès is organising an international scarf design competition, open to all those possessing artistic talents expressed through manual skill: designers, artists, illustrators, graphic designers...Hermès will purchase the originals of the competition winners’ designs with a view to reproduction in one of its future collections.

Since 1937, Hermès has reproduced over 2,000 original designs on silk for its scarf collections. Designers from all backgrounds have distinguished themselves in this exercise in composition and narrative. Time after time, young graphic artists or experienced designers from around the world have devoted their talent to ever-contemporary creativity.

Above all a space for freedom, the scarf is nourished by paradoxes, as Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Hermès artistic director, explains: Enigmatic yet clear, simple yet luxuriant, meaningful yet mysterious right down to the tiniest detail; enclosed within a limited space yet free, open to infinite interpretations.

Please read full description of regulations and benefits in the OFFICIAL RULES.

The competition will take place in three phases:

 

Phase 1
8th March – 31st May 2019: Registration

Candidates register on the Designboom website. They create and fill out a profile containing their personal details, and examples of their previous work.

After examining the applications, the Hermès jury will pick around 100 of them. The selected candidates will be informed by email towards mid-July 2019.

Phase 2
Mid-July – Mid-September 2019: Presentation of scarf projects
The selected candidates then present their scarf design project composed of:
- A short text setting out the theme of the design (250 words maximum),
- A sketch of the overall composition,
- One or several details to allow the jury to assess the quality of the drawing.
Around 10 candidates are selected by the Hermès jury. They will be informed by email towards mid-October 2019.

Phase 3
Mid-October 2019 – Mid-January 2020: Production of a final design to scale

The selected candidates are invited to spend two days at Hermès, in Paris, during November 2019. Following this period of immersion, they will finalise their scarf design to scale (90 x 90 cm), to be ready by Mid-January 2020 at the latest.

The Hermès jury will designate one to three winners, whose names will be disclosed on 1st March 2020, then published on the Designboom website.

Candidates
This competition is intended for draughtsmen, illustrators, graphic designers, artists and designers from around the world, whether professional or amateur, with no restrictions concerning training, techniques, etc. They must have attained the age of majority in their own country.

Prize
The competition winners will each receive €5,000 excluding taxes (see point 1 below), corresponding to the purchase of the original artwork for their design.

Jury
The jury is composed of members of Hermès’ artistic direction and silk department

Selection criteria
The design of the scarf can be created exclusively by hand or using computer graphics. The two techniques may also be combined.

 

Applications are assessed based on the following criteria: clarity of the proposal; quality of the composition; relevance of the narrative; accuracy of any historical or cultural references; skill of execution and ability to merge innovation with tradition.

These BCRs have been approved by the European data protection authorities. For more information on Hermès group’s BCRs, please visit https://www.hermes.com/fr/fr/bcr-eu/.

For countries where BCRs are not fully recognized as adequate mechanism, transfers are made on the basis of appropriate contractual clauses approved by the data protection authorities. To obtain a copy of the relevant adequate safeguards, you can send us your request (see below “How to contact us?”).
