Inside the Hermès Swinging Silks party: 16 photos of Toronto’s most impeccably costumed donning varsity jackets, victory rolls and cat-eyes while swing dancing
Photography by George Pimentel for Hermes See the Hermès Swinging Silks party photos »
Hermès turned the clocks back to the days of Cry-Baby and Marty McFly last Thursday, as Toronto’s most impeccably costumed hit the Berkeley Church for a rockabilly themed dance party. Thrown for no apparent reason but to celebrate one of the things Hermès does best, the event, entitled “Swinging Silks” had the brand’s iconic silk prints indeed swinging throughout the building: on bannisters, around wrists, from ceilings and of course, from the glammed up ponytails of various attendees. And speaking of ponytails, as full rockabilly guise seemed of utmost importance, Hermès had a mini salon set up shop to transform attendees with victory rolls, red lips and cat-eyes. To boot, there was also a tattoo booth, where apropos designs were painted (I opted for a single teardrop).

Quotable: Apparently Hermès actually does burn Birkins?
A flaming Birkin bag was recently the topic of much heated discussion after Francesca Eastwood and her photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields torched one of the most coveted bags in the world. With a price tag of more than $100,000, it was easy to understand the outrage that ensued over the ostentatious act… but it seems that lighting Birkin bags on fire isn’t out of the norm at Hermès, at least according to Mulberry’s Emma Hill who shared this tidbit in her interview with the Telegraph:

HIGH-WAISTED RETRO BIKINI | ONE-PIECE MAILLOT | SPORTYQ: How tight should a swimsuit be?
A: “Bathing suits and jeans should both be very tight when you buy them. The fabric will relax, and there aren’t many things less attractive than a bathing suit that sags.” —MannQ: Can you alter a swimsuit that’s not quite right?
A: “The straps are very easy to do, but I wouldn’t alter the sides because it would stress the seams. A swimsuit will stretch out a little bit, so you could wear it around the house until it gets comfortable.” —Yeung -
