There are over a dozen heirs to the Hermès fortune, but two cousins, Pierre-Alexis and Axel Dumas, have played prominent roles at the company for years.
The role of each Dumas cousin is different."My job is to keep the strong creativity of Hermès alive. To nourish the rigor and the vision," Pierre-Alexis said in an interview,"to make these values vibrate."Pierre-Alexis, whose father is Jean-Louis, said,"My father never told me he wanted me to be creative director. I had to fight for it and prove by the results of my work that I was worth it.
"My role is to harmonize," said Pierre-Alexis in 2013."To set the tone and to assure that the totality of creations is in the spirit of the house of Hermès; to be the guarantee of a certain level of elegance."
