Hermès takes its ready to wear too seriously. We can’t blame the
designers. Designer after designer, the French perfectionist brand’s
clothes lack the vivacious humor of its fantastic scarves, and often its
jewelry, dishes, umbrellas, table clothes and other sundry luxury
goods. They are, though, lovely and made of the world’s best suede,
leather, silk, wool and other materials.
Hermès installed a new designer this season: Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski,
who has worked previously at the Row. (The Row is another label whose
clothes are lovely and luxurious and utterly timeless.) At Hermès, she
replaced Christophe Lemaire, who four years earlier replaced
Jean-Paul Gaultier
—a humorist designer if ever there was one, for his own lines.
Her
debut was utterly lovely. Perfect suede slacks, perfect long knit
dresses—one in a shocking banana yellow—and perfect warm blanket-like
suits. —Christina Binkley
