Hermes Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2015

After four years at Hermes designer Christophe Lemaire is going to focus on his own namesake label. So on the closing day of Paris fashion week Lemaire presented his last collection for the brand. Not with too much fuss though. Just a show full of solid, clean, slightly seventies inspired clothes. Coats and dresses draped around the models’ bodies in shades of white were the opening looks. Beige, camel, sand tones, a splash of yellow, red and navy blue followed as culottes, shorts, pencil skirts and suits made their appearance, sweaters tied around the hips. Crispy, fully buttoned shirts were paired with the label’s best leather. Like a pair of croc leather shorts, a suede snakeskin jacket and a navy shirt paired with some dark denim pants. A woven multicolored coat with leather lining looked impeccable, especially with the right bag and shoes. A clean, elegant, modern collection with some surprising travel inspired touches; a worthy goodbye for Lemaire.
