| Hermés RTW Fall 2012 |
Now in his third season designing the women’s ready-to-wear at
Hermès, Christophe Lemaire has a penchant for elevating humble clothes
into the luxury stratosphere that the brand inhabits. He opened his
handsome show at the Beaux-Arts with a gang of platinum-card-holding
gaucho girls, their tweed blanket shawls fringed in black leather; their
pleated, ballooning pants tucked into slouchy boots that may never
touch dirt. The South American accent gave an appealing swagger to the
masculine tailoring that’s become a recurrent theme of the European
collections.More after the jump.
