Exclusive: Behind The Scenes from Hermès SS17

‘These clothes should become our dear friends’ reads a line from the Hermès SS17 collection note. Instead of trend-spotting on this runway, it is imperative to look for the refined craftsmanship that is part of the muted colour palette and the somewhat-80s vibe. The clothes are classic when dissected, and contemporary when layered. Pleated knit skirts, long coats in taffeta stripes, and high-waisted men’s pants are given a cooler dimension when paired with silk moiré ribbons and metal hardware. Hermès paints a pastel picture for summer, one that also includes hints of shocking pink. And if there’s only one thing you must buy, it has to be the oddly-shaped fringe bag!
