Hermes Fall Winter 2010 Collection

Wednesday March 10th, 2010 – Halle Freyssinet

There’s never been a shortage of bags and backdrop at an Hermès show, but this year JPG added a dramatic twist with looks inspired by the 60’s sultry spy, Emma Peel. It was a high octane spectacle, highlighting JPG’s penchant for leather and sharp tailoring, and not simply serving as a showcase for the house’s latest accessories.

Right from the first look, the nouvelle Jane Bond looked boyishly debonair in an all black-leather pant-jacket ensemble, topped off with a rounded fedora. And Jean Paul Gaultier did not spare the leather as he used it on sleeveless gowns, draped at the hips, turtlenecks & 3-piece mens suits. To complete the Avengers throwback, models were accessorized with Englishmen tophats, canes, Birkins, monocles, ties and umbrellas. Strategically placed dark crocodile jeans, mini skirts and vests offered welcome respites from throngs of leather-clad looks. While the show felt a bit cheeky at times, JPG’s energy, vision, and expertise in the art of le bon tailleur, framed in Hermès rich history of fine craftsmanship, make this collection desirable to say the least.
