The review of the Hermès FW19 collection The triumph of classicism, luxury and timeless elegance
Yesterday, at the Garde Nationale à Paris, Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski presented the FW19 collection of the brand that more than any other can still describe an exquisitely French taste, conservative, that escapes the passing of time and trends. We are talking about Hermès and the fashion show that closed the sixth day of Paris Fashion Week.
After a countdown, in a room with perforated wooden walls and golden reflections, The Stars (Are Out Tonight) by David Bowie opened the show of the house founded by Thierry Hermès in 1837. 55 looks, the models on the catwalk are ideally stars of a galaxy, a theme that returns in prints and atmospheres. Vanhee-Cybulski does not exceed the proportions between clothes and accessories, rather focusing on an incredible quality of craftsmanship, which treats leathers as fabrics, in what is a very personal and intimate collection. The long-sleeved shirt in silk, in fact, has a print that, as the designer explains, "is the first writing I saw on Hermès clothes, my mother's scarf".
