That was the last season of Christophe Lemaire at Hermes- and surely, it really was worth an applause. The understated luxury, traveler chic and the elegant style is everything that Lemaire achieved at Hermes and continues in his own, name-sake, brand. Cream and white layers in alligator printed suede, oversized Hermès prints blown up on belted in scarf dresses and loose silken separates in dusky pink and golden yellow all summed up the sense of freeing ease that Lemaire imbued on the house. These clothes don't need bells and whistles and neither does the house when you have an arsenal of fine fabrications. But who is next at Hermes? It's Nadege Vanhee-Cybulski, which comes to the house with experience from The Row and Celine. In other words, it's surely going to be a match in heaven. However I will still miss Christophe Lemaire at this French, super strong house.
By the way… it's the last "reviewed" collection from SS15 by me. This season was beautiful. Can't wait what the designers will show in the next half of the year!
