Eau des Merveilles Bleue
PARIS, MARCH 7, 2017

At Hermès, Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski treads the fine line between the specifics of an haute Parisian culture, and transient trend. It’s a difficult balancing act. Somehow, with this collection, one would much prefer to reach out and feel the material quality of the garments than comment on how they fit into the passing whims of the season. The very attraction of this brand, for those who can afford it, is timelessness.

| it’s all in the subtleties with this brand. Perhaps the aspect of the world of Hermès the designer made most credible to both the classic customer and the fashion-forward one this season was the discreet gold multiple chain and pendant jewelry, laid on just as if each girl who wore it really owned it. As a nota bene: representation of diversity in modeling is something this creative director has brought to the house ever since she stepped in, a fact which ought not to need calling out by now, but is a credit to her. |

| Trying to describe Hermès is an exquisite form of torture to a non-French person. Somehow, the foreign tongue (I mean English) simply cannot find words to explain the ingeniously crafted, superfine fabrics and leather it uses without sounding pretentious (a well-known Anglophone phobia). |
