"a little girl who wants to kiss the wind. the cover of this season's issue of "le monde d'hermes" are the lips presented to aeolus, the god of wind. purely innocent impulses, innocent expectations, this little girl believes in the good nature of things. she is convinced. let her model this child. the virtue of conviction brings vitality to action, and with that in mind, there is alot to do. the beginning of the century creates a sensation of being washed and enchanted. in other words, a new perspective opens up in front of us, who are intoxicated with new possibilities. in the face of a beautifully repainted future, hermes, like this little girl, is full of leaps and bounds. (...) in the new millennium dawn, thanks to the renewed vitality, we feel brilliant, full of movement and lightness. i would like everyone to share this new breath." (translated from japanese)
