We were absolutely blown away by Christophe Lemaire’s debut collection for Hermès fall line. It’s structural, functional, strong, and (our favorite) Earth toned. Plus, we’re currently reading George R.R. Martin’s “A Game of Thrones” (getting ready for the new HBO series premiere on April 17th), so we feel particularly inspired by this medieval interpretation. It even evokes the hunter/nomad trend we highlighted in our New York Fashion Week trends post.
Overall, it really highlights the impeccable craftsmanship Hermès is known for. In an interview with Christophe Lemaire, the previous Lacoste designer explains the Hermès brand well, and we think he’s captured this in his first collection for the luxury powerhouse:
“At Hermès, we don’t say we do luxury. We do useful objects of an extreme quality. You have to think about the comfort, the functionality, the pockets, the way the clothes will age. The inside is as important as the outside. The extreme quality that you feel, rather than show, is extremely important.”
Here are our favorite looks from the collection:
