<strong>PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS</strong>Introducing the 2010-11 Autumn/Winter New & Noël Collections! Pierre Hermé's Interview in Japan

<strong>PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS</strong>Pierre Hermé visits Japan with his new and much-anticipated Noël collection.

<strong>PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS</strong>The new collection, unveiled today, was presented in full on the table during the interview.

<strong>PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS</strong>Mr. Hermé himself cut each creation into tasting portions and we conducted the interview over samples. What a rare opportunity to taste new sweets!

<strong>PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS</strong>His sentiment, expressed in the interview, "I want you to taste it rather than just hear about it," truly comes through.
