Known to us today as nostradamus. Received some University Training and practiced medicine for a time before branching out in to prophesy. He published his first book of prophecies in 1555, not even he could have foreseen the longlasting impact it was to have. Was he a quarterback this nostradamus . A charlatan or was he a true prophet a within a gift. Orson welles narrated the 1981 film the man who saw tomorrow which dramatized some of his most startling prophecies. Written in brief versus the mostly bore tidings of gloom and doom. Including wars and earthquakes and catyclisms of every description. He predicted among other things the coming of three antichrists, which true believers say were napoleon and litter with antichrist number three still tbd. His modernday followers insist his prophecies are largely coming true. The final predictions of nostradamus before the clock strikes 2012.

When hermes launched a newly designed store in Beverly Hills not long ago, it was with the same panache that has defined the french luxury Goods Company for almost 180 years. Make your dream come true. Those two fellows proudly conducting a tour for reporters. Also fantastic bags. Happen to be sixth generation members of the founding family, ceo axel dumas. Everything is in the bag. His cousin creative director pierreelectric see dumas. Its a treat. The Company Makes everything from clothing to furniture. But hermes is probably best known for bags sported over the years by the likes of grace kelly, who has a purse named after her. To kim kardashian, who doesnt. Then there are the famous silk scarfs often graced with images of horses and riding gear. Thats where it all started, founder Thierry Hermes was a harness maker. Very early he was recognized as great achiever, highest quality of harnesses, his son took over his business and extended it to horse riding equipment. Company still sells handcrafted saddles making them on the top floor of the flagship hermes store on one of the most fashionable streets in paris. For me it is a great inspiration but only for me, but for designers to remember our roots. Leather goods ha that many women covet are those bags. Like the birkin named for british actress and singer jane birkin. She was once seated on a plane next to Pierre Alexis father robert and complained that shed never found the perfect purse. She was just saying, my dream bag is my father was, as she was talking, making sketches. Very good at making quick sketches. Thats how it came about really. Do you say serendipity. Serendipity, indeed. The bags are so pricey and popular they were on sex and the city. Theres a waiting list. Five years. The Company Makes no apologies for the scarcity of some bags or the cost, which can be tens of thousands of dollars for purses made from certain rare skins. Theres a limited amount of Quality Supply of leather. We dont want to compromise on quality. I think in english you say, i cant afford to buy cheap. Indeed the craftsmen and women at this factory outside paris train for at least 18 months. Every stitch is hand sewn. The same care lavished on the inside of the bag as the outside. Its all a source of great pride for workers like jocelyn zerbib who has been here more than three decades. When you tell people that you work for hermes, whats the response . I see stars in the eyes of the people i talk to. And they ask, can you get me one, right . Of course. But i say, no. But you might be surprised to learn that hermes would start making bags was hatched on american soil. This one is still working as you can see. Says it all began great grandfather made a trip to the u. S. During the First World War and bought the european rights to an american invention, the zipper. The first purse of hermes was for his wife with the zipper which was very modern at the time. His office has been turned in to a private museum. But the rule hermes you need to be a little bit crazy. And he was about collection. There is this feather the parasol. His first sect item this was but he bought when he was 14 years old. Later became the inspiration for a silk scarf. So did this model horse and carriage made entirely out of paper. Which brings us to the iconic hermes scarf. The company has been making them since 1937 and the center of france. The Company Creates only 20 new designs each year. On this deis in we have 34 colors. He was our guide to the complex process that goes into creating each hermes scarf. The works of the designer and the work of the engraver and the work of the colorist and the weaver, then the printer, we need two years of work for each new hermes scarf. That helps explain why they retail more than 400 each. But shoppers cant get enough goods. Revenue has doubled at the company in the last four years. There are now 30plus scores worldwide and the company made about 1 billion in profits last year. Pierre lex see dumas things he is understands why. The reason why our company is successful is because it is a family company. Indeed, everyone at the Company Seems driven more by pride than profit. Know nothing is taken for granted. Hermes is about a long, long tradition of almost 180 years, but its about also making the choice of every generation that puts you ready for the next. Osgood coming up. The turn thing pointe.
