...Your mother inspired the Hermès Birkin bag. Do you own one? No. [Laughs.] It would be weird to have my mother's bag. It's so close to what she is and how she is. I'd have the impression I'd be copying. But it is a beautiful...
...Case studies include that of a multinational cosmetics firm that decided to hire a highly qualified international marketing executive who interviewed in a headscarf - "from Hermès, but a headscarf nonetheless," the book notes - despite reservations about the covering censoring her own beauty.

I wish I'd grown up having a raspberry, citron and buttery sea-salt caramel trio waiting for me after school. But the ones from Hermé's swish shop are mini macarons for grown-ups. Like an haute couture fashion house, Hermé rolls out a new collection every fall and spring. Sophisticated flavor combinations like green tea and chestnut bring simple pleasures to a new level of contemporary cool, while the olive oil or white truffle...
