Véronique Nichanian
alternately breathes life into this heritage and occasionally knocks the wind
out of it but for fall 2020 she invigorates this coveted and heritage brand. LET’S
CALL IT WHAT IT IS ... NO ONE is coming to Hermès for the latest and the
greatest in fashion; they come to Hermès for the finest of material and
workmanship and hopefully a dash of low-key fashion. Might I add that they come
for the comfort and confidence in knowing they wear some of fashion’s most
expensive yet low key creations.

Unlike Cuccinelli
who essays to be the quintessential low key appearance of sprezzatura fashion as well as the “don’t look
at me but I spent $3000 to look so casual,” Hermès can be spotted by discerning
eyes by its exquisite workmanship, materials, excecution and in the case of this season
a healthy dash of grown up fashion.

Some beautiful
knits, the perfect tie neck shirts, the paneled coats, and jackets, the metallic
ciré which you know is lined in cashmere, the spliced necklines and a couple of
the slickest sharpest black suits seen on the runways. The prints are out of the ordinary for the
brand but again, they are discreet yet new and one could say directional but Hermès
is hardly a brand known for trend addiction.

Each season
tells a different story and there are some where Nichanian crosses the line by
trying to make Hermès far more fashion oriented than it needs to be or should be
but this season she hit all the right notes for one of the very few stand-alone
luxury brands
