Hermes Spring Summer 2015

Hermes has always aced the art of simplicity. The super fine constructions create an impact and the clothes stand out merely on account of stark minimalism. The highly modest rendition of the Indian tunic that opened the show aligns perfectly to the same. The fit proposition was slouch but dandy as always with a chic and understated edge. The cropped high-waited pants clubbed with a leather shirt and a white one tucked in python shorts being an apposite case in point. The leather wrap skirt ought to be a highly desired entity for those who represent and hold the highest orders in fashion. The inspiration for the season came from African tribal, courtesy of which the collection centered on smocking in silhouettes and some graphics in the print class. It was Christophe Lemaire’s concluding show for the house of luxury supremo, another high-profile exit (another one in reference being that of Jean Paul Gaultier’s). The final bow in the two cases was completely different ends of the continuum. Albeit both stuck to what the labels have represented always, a very similar thing to do if you think of it.
