Well, one thing was immediately obvious. Hermès Man wasn’t really feeling
button-down shirts anymore. He preferred a cashmere or silk V-neck under his
pinstripe blazer, or cabled knit, or croc blouson. Which suggested, in its own
subtly streamlined way, that the tradition-loving Hermès customer is in the
process of changing (a point echoed by the show’s “under-construction”
backdrop). He clearly wasn’t ready to shed the elegance, however—that much was
obvious from his cravats, even if they were riotously colored. Or, for
that matter, the luxury (typified by a croc hoodie, for God’s sake, never mind
the velvet mink coat).But Hermès Man was toying with his
classics, happy to combine a brown pinstripe jacket with charcoal pinstripe
pants, or pair thick workmanlike cashmere socks with his oxfords. This
combination was as incongruous as the bobble hat with the gray flannel suit, and
we should probably blame the stylist. But, on the other hand, it was such
touches that underscored designer Véronique Nichanian’s confident new looseness.
She’s brokered a successful marriage of casual and luxe—now who’s up for a
peacoat in navy croc?
