Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski brought a retro color palette of emerald green, lilac, and caramel down the runway in Paris. Within looks that appear as assemblies, these details designed for Hermès gave a particular dynamic and modernity to the ensemble. The brand’s creative direction took inspiration from the leather aprons worn by the manufacturer’s artisans to bring the world high-waisted dresses made of suede.
But where Hermès truly proves its boldness is in the use of fabrics as new as they are unexpected, like knit patchwork with eyelet details on the waist. The result is a number of unusual shapes and details, like zippers. By reaching back into the archives, she brings back iconic silk prints: keys from 1965, hands, nails, and cashmere prints from the 60s and 70s can all be found on silk shirts with masterful femininity and airs of nobility.
But the key piece in this runway is none other than the leather-edged cape. Loyal to Hermès’ original inspirations, Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski transforms the traditional horse-riding blanket into an ultra-desirable coat. This is a new way to bring a twist to the Hermès woman’s look for the coming season.
