What is it with Nomad inspiration this Season? Not that am bothered, I love the different interpretations from Armani to Hermes… Christophe Lemaire ( Hermes Creative Director) is doing very well, and I guess the collection will be a success in the GCC region as many of the designs are a Couture/ Fusion version of the Arabian Male Heritage with an essential and pure look of supreme and discrete luxury blended with minimalism and casual elegance, even if it wasn’t declared as official inspiration!
No embellishment excess, but a deceptive simplicity that favours ease of movement in enveloping volumes. Some exotic accents in textures and in flowing forms, refined burnouses or Abaya, atlas-inspired tunics, kurtas ( inspired by Afghani, Pakestani...Culture) in thick, compact wool, falconer poncho-style coats, coats sculpted by craftsmen in Mongolia - recall a certain elegant nomad style and suggest that for Hermès perhaps freedom is the true epitome of luxury…in the show Chris decided to stay away from showing the brand's famous Birkin and Kelly bags, or almost any bags for that matter, preferring to keep focus on the clothes. People who have attended the show felt the new Era of calm at Hermes in opposition to ex shows,Gaultier's circus-like shows. There were no live horses, or tennis matches. Just calm.
So yes, let’s be calm, let’s envelope ourselves in a bit of cashmere made by Hermès and face the world with a stolen moment of inner peace.

FYI: There had been widespread speculation that LVMH, the world's largest luxury goods company may bid for Hermes. LVMH's denial was sparked by reports that a takeover bid was imminent. It already owns about 20% of the group."The LVMH group has absolutely no intention of making a bid for Hermes," a spokesman for the company said.
