Dressier pieces included a trimly-cut suit made of polished calfskin that shimmered in the light
PARIS (Reuters) - Veronique Nichanian, the artistic director for menswear at Hermes, opens new tab, presented a textured lineup of polished looks for the label’s winter runway show on Saturday, showing the versatile side of the high-end fashion label.
Models filed past brightly-lit columns in thick sheepskin coats, checked suits, trim leather jackets and a silky bomber jacket in pea green.
A glossy leather coat appeared to be reversible, lined with a soft, light-colored fabric on the inside, while the pattern of a checked suit were discernable through a sheer, light-weight parka. Nichanian tweaked the pattern of a chunky Argyle sweater vest in a lavender hue, and readjusted shirt pockets, skewing them slightly to the side.

The collection was “reversible, superimposable, transformable,” said the show notes. “Precise decentrings” and “engineered slippages” were also mentioned.
