Felt Is A Key Player (Alongside Leather Of Course)
Felt is a material commonly associated with crafting, insulation, and upholstery - but this durable fabric formed the starting point of this confident collection for Hermes womenswear artistic director Nadege Vanhee. As she told the media, "Initially, it was felt—a good friend and a support to the leather." Here we can see an example of how she's fused the two materials together in this striking Birkin.
Modular Design Is Everything
Vanhee has made a name for herself as a thinking women's designer and as such, versatility was a key point in the collection, where overcoats were reversible and jackets could be unzipped into blankets.
A Frisson Of Sensuality
While the Hermes aesthetic and identity is one of the most consistent in the business, much credit has to be given to Vanhee for how she continually burnishes it with a youthful, subtly provocative energy with every collection. Take how she added a sensual touch to Hermes' knitwear, presenting cropped ribbed cashmere sweaters over high-waisted corduroy jodhpurs and form-fitting leggings, all contributing to a sleek, athletic look.
Get A Pair Of Equestrian Boots
Yes of course Hermes never strays far from its history as a purveyor of high-end equestrian gear - and the message was effectively reinforced when Vanhee sent out when nearly every look paired with these sleek, knee-high pointy-toed riding boots, helping to create the collection's distinctively lean silhouette.
Bags Get Extra Boxy
While no names have been shared yet on these bags, we're digging their trunk-esque shapes that remind us of lunch boxes - surely among the most well-crafted and luxurious on the planet, undoubtedly.
Minis Are In
For those who like it compact, the maison is dishing up some pretty cute options, from slim pochettes to what looks like a miniaturised version of the popular top-handle Bolide bag.
