She adds that the event was called "View from Her" because what it showcased was not the whole collection for this season, but "an edited selection from the point of view of a Hermes woman".

And in Barret's eyes, the Hermes woman is "elegant, sophisticated in movement, minimal in taste, wearing clothes that are well manufactured using beautiful fabrics".

Barret, who saw a Childs dance two years ago in Paris, says: "I was obsessed with her, especially her approach of mixing film and live performance.

"It was very interesting－mixing reality and virtuality."

After the show, Barret called Childs and asked whether she would be interested in working with Hermes.
