PIERRE HERMÉ 2008

... makes sweet art pieces.

"He is often asked where and how he gets his ideas for taste, texture and flavor combinations, these
tasty creations that make up his brand and are recognizable among a thousand. He willingly answers… inspiration comes from his weakness for sweets, pleasure, sensations, encounters, fragrances and textures." Charles Znaty about Pierre Hermé who invented the “Pâtisserie Haute-Couture” concept.

Pierre Hermé's “Collection” idea became at first in Japan popular. In the first months of 2008 Pierre Hermé created the "Macaron Haute-Couture", a tailor made macaron. Since this year you can buy even from Europe the sweet art pieces online > www.pierreherme.com
