We speak to Gregoris Pyrpylis about the pomegranate Hermès lipstick shade that debuts alongside the maison’s New York store
Hermès may once have been famously out of reach for many, but with the launch of its equally exquisite beauty line in 2020, more of us are certainly able to enjoy a piece of the pie. Hermès Beauty’s creative director,, who was appointed earlier in 2022 and made a lasting impression with the release of Plein Air, Hermès’ first complexion collection, brings a notably multidisciplinary approach to make-up.
Raised in a family of pharmacists before studying English at university, Pyrpylis fell into make-up quite by accident after spontaneously giving a friend a makeover. Following an illustrious career at brands like MAC, Bioderma and Shiseido, Pyrpylis now drives the house’s vision and development for make-up.‘I see Hermès Beauty as a perpetual and non-ending quest for wellbeing,’ Pyrpylis says.
The essence of Hermès Beauty is found in self-expression, creativity, freedom and simplicity. It truly aligns in a way with the ideal of beauty – ‘Kallos’ in Ancient Greece – that occupied the greatest philosophers of the era, where beauty was not only about the appearance but also connected to the virtues and the wellbeing of the soul and mind.
He adds, ‘What drew my attention in the world of make up was not achieving perfection in beauty, the physical appearance is subjective anyway. It’s more about expressing what I think that beauty is. By bringing out the inner nature of a personality, expressing its every facet, revealing a side of the personality that is there, not transforming it, simply elevating it, it’s a matter of boosting confidence, which is also an approach that has been inked in the DNA of the house of Hermès.
Pyrplyis concludes, ‘We have an open dialogue with the past, present and future, a deep connection to time. We are beyond trends and believe both in beauty that is timeless yet contemporary, in the revelation of the personality, in the uniqueness of a person. This singularity is what we find beautiful.
