Hermès Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear FW2016

Hermès is never much about trends. Nor is it about story telling (besides the obvious horse riding references of course). Yet what you can rely on every single season is a collection of beautifully made fashion classics. Hermès is all about suede and leather and f/w2016 will be no exception. Yet what Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski added were the loveliest and cosiest cashmere and wool pieces. Like a grey shaded full cover dress worn with just a small black belt (the absolute winning look of the collection, be it not even that outspoken). Or a chunky grey sweater/coat paired with some cropped pants. Not a touch of bare skin in sight (naturally you’d think when it concerns a winter collection, yet some of last week’s shows beg to differ), still those fully covered models breathed a certain sexiness. What a waistbelt and a pair of glossy boots and chunky heels can do.. The color palette changed from that typical Hermès brown to navy, burgundy and green. We spotted some diamond patterns and a selection of small stripes as a few statement accessories failed to really make an impression. A solid yet subtle luxurious collection fit for a French fashion house with so much heritage.
