HERMÈS
Since 2020 Gerard & Kelly have collaborated with the creative and marketing teams at Hermès to develop performance events celebrating key moments for the house. Lipstick Traces (2020) launched Hermès’s first lipstick collection in a site-specific performance and installation for a Parisian hôtel particulier. Texture of Time (2021) celebrated the introduction of a new men’s watch with performances in Asia and at the Noguchi Museum in New York. For The Power of Fundamentals (2023), Gerard & Kelly created a performance installation for La Maison Hermès at the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
