The Evolution of the Hermès Silhouette: A Timeless Blend of Luxury and Sophistication
Hermès recently unveiled its menswear collection for Fall/Winter 2019-20 in a breathtaking display at the historic Mobilier National building in Paris. Creative director Véronique Nichanian curated a collection that seamlessly fused modernist architecture with a mix of furniture styles, creating a rich backdrop for the runway show that echoed the brand’s commitment to heritage and craftsmanship.
The collection for this winter season showcased a rich color palette of deep navy, midnight blue, anthracite, and black, highlighting precision tailoring and luxurious materials, with a spotlight on exquisite leather pieces. From patinated calfskin trousers to waxed lambskin overshirts, each garment demonstrated a perfect harmony between simplicity and opulence. The inclusion of deerskin coats, sheepskin bomber jackets, and waxed canvas trench coats further emphasized Hermès’s dedication to quality and timeless design.
The Hermès man for the upcoming winter season embodies a sense of confidence and refinement, characterized by wider trousers, elongated jackets, and an emphasis on personal attitude over conventional standards of age or body type. Splashes of color like saffron, violet, turquoise, and red, as well as subtle embellishments such as spangles, added a playful touch to the overall dark color scheme, infusing the collection with a sense of modernity and individuality.
Véronique Nichanian’s vision for the Hermès silhouette captures a new paradigm of understated elegance and refined style. By prioritizing sensibility and attitude as essential components of a sophisticated look for the modern man, the designer has successfully bridged traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design elements, ensuring that Hermès remains at the forefront of luxury fashion evolution.
