Paris fashion: Hermes says less is more
Complementary colour contrasts gave the understated power to such simple and neat styles
Devastating beauty through tasteful minimalism.
That was the mantra for Nadege Vanhee-Cybulski’s spring collection for Hermes, which could possibly be her strongest so far.
A soft gray dress with pleated grooves was paired with a simple tan belt — followed by a metallic gray minidress with square sections paired with an equally simple crisp square ochre handbag.
It was a masterful use of complementary colour contrast that gave the understated power to such simple and neat styles.
Voluminous proportions in high-waisted trousers and in billowing statement coats, meanwhile, gave the looks a chicness, by elongating the body.
Other single garment looks, like a rich black floor-length gown, exuded kinesis and luxury from myriad fabric embroideries that seemed to melt into the dress.
