I came across a set of photos of Monsieur Hervé Pierre’s (the creative director of Carolina Herrera) apartment in NYC and was very delighted to see that he framed one of my favorite Carrés for decoration: Paddock. So I think my own Paddock deserves a post today. ;-)

Paddock is a very old design from J-C Clerc and has been reissued multiple times a few years back. What attract me most about Clerc’s design is the way he paints people, how he uses simple brush strokes to convey each charming character is just magical.
I adore every single detail of his painting. It really makes a Carré special, special enough to hang on the wall as a piece of artwork.
Monsieur Pierre’s Paddock is in tender smoking blue, I opted for the electric blue colorway not only because it is more skin flattering, but also because the bright blue really lights up an outfit. :-)

Awww…. charming blue, beautiful carre!
I recently bought the limited edition Paddock from the new Chicago Hermès! I saw the beautiful blue colorway you have but in the end i opted for a silky gray.
原来每幅丝巾挂起来都是一张油画 下个月一定要去博物馆 带着我妈妈去熏陶熏陶哈哈
iilns, hugs dear!
CashmereLibrarian, thanks for dropping by. Silky gray sounds dreaming. Enjoy yours in best health!
BTW, I’ve heard there are four CWs for the limited edition, just wondering what the other two are.
小白，太幸福了，我也想去上海看。５５５。。。玩得开心啊！到时候拍点照片给俺们看不到的养养眼吧？;-)
What a beautiful scarf, there is always an H scarf for every taste.
I just saw the new collection from Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, normally I like the romantic work of Alberta Ferretti and Asia inspired things, but the combination of the two really doesn’t work. The patterns, the colors, nothing appeals me.
呀呀 我是说波士顿的博物馆呢 我还没回国嘻嘻 到时候我一定拍两张油画给你看啊
Elysium, totally agree. I am such a sucker for Clerc’s design, this is my third scarf from him.
I went to style.com to have a look at AF’s collection. Not my cup of tea either.
小白，呀呀~~ 我以为你要回国度假，顺道看Hermès在上海的展览呢。 理解错了，汗。。。
过来看看小妮子，想你啦～～～这条围巾真好看，Graphic超级赞！！偶都想买一条啦呐～～～小妮子太会种草咯！！牛滴！！
小妮子周末愉快，狂亲亲！！
You should frame one (or tons) of yours too :)
Saw the Cent Plis des Miao being the major display all over the stores in Italy! I recognized them from far away once seeing the pic here :)
泥M，狂啃啃先。有阵子没见你了，希望你一切都好（最重要是心想事成，恩）。
这个丝巾的图案用你专业人士的眼光来看是不是画得很传神？支持你败哈～～
jibjab, unfortunately I don’t own the one I’d love to frame most, not yet. It is hard to find now but I am not giving up hope. ;-)

Oh Monsieur Pierre, it is too kind of you to share the lovely story behind your “Paddock”. And it is such a pleasure to know that you adore Clerc’s design too!
I was beyond happy when I saw your amazing comment. Thank you so so much!!! You really made my day!
It is such a gorgeous scarf and yours is in a beautiful colour, I have the watermelon coloured one.
Suzie, glad to know that we are scarf twins, enjoy yours in best health!
I also bought the gray one at the beautiful new store here in Chicago. The two other colors I think are a salmon pink and a white background
Hi Kim, thank you for your input. Happy to know another Paddock lover. :-)
