Veronique Nichanian showed exactly why she is one of the longest-serving fashion designers on the menswear calendar.
The French Hermes designer pulled off a highly saleable, color-sensitive and texture-rich display in Paris’ chic Leftbank Saturday night.
Hermes is a byword for luxury; and Nichanian has been very instrumental in shaping this storied French house’s menswear aesthetic.
Notably, her styles — as seen for spring-summer — demonstrate how men’s clothes can be both elegant and colorful and retain full-throttle masculinity.
This isn’t always the case on Paris’ luxury runways.
Colors such as royal orange, Cetacean blue, lemon and burnt Sienna were tastefully combined in loose silhouettes sometimes capped with a relaxed-looking two-strap sandal.
A beautiful leather knee length Crayola yellow coat shimmered next to a matte open-neck vanilla colored sweater in a perfectly studied contrast.
