The Hermes Spring 2014 campaign is utterly charming. It appears to star two shy forest nymphs, both of whom don't have a clue about the luxuries they are clad in nor the beauty they hold. Of course, models Diana Moldovan and Yumi Lambert are simply playing their roles to a T. Whether captured behind foliage or like a deer in the headlights while perched on a rock, they give the collection a fantastical appeal.
Shot by photographer Hans Silvester, the Hermes Spring 2014 campaign is nevertheless inspired by a safari theme, not a fairy one. And in place of a forest, they are captured in a jungle. Yet the marriage between the two ideas is not so dissonant. Beat Bolliger styled the photoshoot.
