Inside Hermès Avec Elle immersive exhibition in Tokyo
Hermès Avec Elle transports spectators into another realm where guests interact with the set and immerse themselves in a cinematic experience based around Hermès autumn/winter 2018 collection. Located in Tokyo's grand National Art Center. Avec Elle encourages visitors to participate as extras and delve into the behind-the-scenes action of a Hermès film set.
The exhibition cleverly masks itself as a movie shoot experience, envisioned by Hermès’ Women’s Universe artistic director, Bali Barret, in partnership with French filmmaker Laure Flammarion.
The exhibition will run for three weeks from July 11 to July 30. Scroll down to have a closer look at this must-see exhibition in Tokyo.

In an attempt to retain the grand, historic public rooms of the 1860s and 1920s - of which the Café Royal was famed for - these Grade II listed spaces have been carefully restored.
I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights - come and see my photo diary and what I got up to.
