is bringing a soupçon of that expertise—and some of the accordant artisans—to the greater Detroit metro area, with the exhibition Hermès In The Making at the Somerset Collection in Troy, Michigan.
Hermès In The Making previously bowed in Turin and Copenhagen, and choosing Detroit for its first American stop is not quite so left-field as it may seem: There’s the city’s role as the onetime crucible of American manufacturing; the rising creative class here; a one-year-old Hermès store at the Somerset Collection; and even a bit of historical trivia.
Hermès invited fashion editors and guests to a press preview the day before the exhibition opened. Eleven artisans were on hand for in-person presentations, interactive workshops, and short videos of their various ateliers and collaborators. Hermès leatherworker Edouard Ambelouis was there, answering questions as he repaired the stitching on a taupe Bolide. “Hermès bags are made to last 80-100 years, at least,” Ambelouis said.
By a display demonstrating weaving techniques, a video of the artisans at the ESAT de Sorède played, showing how the house’s braided whips and riding crops are made by disabled adults at a government-supported facility in southern France. A few feet away, an artisan explained through a translator the 22 steps required to make a pair of cashmere-lined lambskin gloves. “We’re a slow company,” Hermès executive vice president of sales and merchandising Diane Mahady said.
The following day, the house had invited groups of local school children to visit the exhibition, including second and third graders from Detroit Achievement Academy, a nine-year-old public charter school that Hermès has lent some resources and support to in recent years. , who transplanted her New York-based business back to the area in 2018, planned to take a group of local public school students she works with through her weekly arts enrichment program the following day.
