The Story Behind: Leila Menchari Hermès designer – September 27 – April 4, 2020.
Leila Menchari was born on September 27, 1927, in Tunis, she was destined for an illustrious career filled with artistic creativity and grandeur. Her journey into the world of artistry began in the gardens of a villa owned by an American-British couple, Violet and Jean Henson.Here, she met eminent artists like Man Ray, Jean Cocteau and Luchino Visconti, which cemented her determination to walk the path of creativity. Leila Menchari then ventured to Paris, graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts and mingling with bohemian Saint-Germain des Prés artistic community in the 1950s. Her friend and childhood companion, designer Azzedine Alaïa, introduced her to French couture, leading to her becoming a favoured model for Guy Laroche in 1957. This experience honed her understanding of Parisian elegance. In 1961, Leila Menchari life took a turn when she joined the iconic luxury brand, Hermès. Her creative genius was quickly recognised by Annie Beaumel, the in-house decorator of Hermès, who challenged her to “Draw your dreams!” Leila Menchari fantastical, grandiose and oriental dreams materialised as she began designing window displays for Hermès, initially as Beaumel assistant and eventually becoming the lead decorator in 1978. Throughout her career at Hermès, Leila Menchari was the creative force behind remarkable scarves, including: Jouvence, Régina and Brides de Gala Brodé Main, designed with Hugo Grygkar.
