Hermès Autumn Winter 2011
Christophe Lemaire’s first collection as design (or creative?) director at Hermes has been overshadowed by fashion week’s big dramas. I like that he has added his sporty handwriting to the collection, but has not taken it too far from what Jean Paul Gaultier did, there is still a bit of fantasy present in the show. I won’t say I loved it, there were a few too many parkas for my liking, the way he used the leather was tacky at times, and some of the shapes weren’t exactly chic, but I think Hermes has made the right decision. Give Lemaire a few seasons to get settled, and I think he will do very well for them.
