Fruits of Labor by Bethan Laura Wood

Sighted this week on Pin-Up magazine’s website, making-of images from the latest project of London talent Bethan Laura Wood, a series of summer window displays for Hermès UK called “Fruits of Labor.” Pin-Up’s editors call the project, which consists of classical still lifes full of oversized fruits and vegetables, “Henry Rousseau in 3-D.” Says Wood of the project: “I really wanted these large-scale sets to be hand-painted in order to highlight the layers handcrafted at every stage that make up final Hermès products.” Read more — including a guide to Wood’s all-time favorite Hermès scarves — at pinupmagazine.org.BLW_Hermes_2BLW_Hermes_3BLW_Hermes_6BLW_Hermes_5BLW_Hermes_7BLW_Hermes_9BLW_Hermes_10BLW_Hermes_13BLW_Hermes_14BLW_Hermes_15
