Spring Summer 2015 Ready to Wear Hermes

the last show of the spring season and the last too for Christophe Lemaire, who bows out after four years to concentrate on his own eponymous line. He will be replaced by Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski, who arrives from The Row.

Lemaire’s beachscape catwalk was immaculately swept with brushes by seven attendants in white boiler suits seconds before the show started - this is Hermes and footprints in the sand just won't do, nor, for that matter, will clothes that are too off-duty, too geared towards the casual (down days are handled differently over here). No, we are not in for a carefree holiday, wherever an Hermes woman is jetting off to for her vacation, she will be packing a trunk load of water snake, crocodile and double-face cashmere.
