I also really hope that Lizard Natura Ombré will be available again since it is everywhere on the runaway. If I was right, with the shoulder kelly and this colour of lizard Hermès would meke me really happy next summer!

Ciao TT, come stai??Haven't seen you around much lately...I hope you had a good summer!!!!!

[lilach]

it is a gorgeous collection extremely well made ! (seriously they mucho improved the alredy there quality) the collection as awhole may not work for everyone BUT when you rip it apart and loose the overall" luxe cowgirl gone wild "look it can be a very summery easy living fashion with a tongue in chic point of incorporating a kind of "hippie" chic(all the tiedye the fringes etc) into the modern( working) women!
the suedes are beyond cuddly the tones very very elegant and oh do not let me started on the white and black numbers! all of them fines cottons silks cashmeres vicuna etc.!
the bags well h made it a point to focus on the fashion it is fashion week after all and not handbag week so they want to point out they are strong in that field too i mean they did not hired JPG for nothing after all kwim!
if some of the bags will make it on the shopfloor is yet to be seen (with the multipiece lizards i highly doubt it)
again first it was a unthought direction of H to take but once the first shock settled and one could focus on the actual garments it was crystal clear that it essentially is what h is best at- perfectly constructed wearable everyday wear made from the best materials and with utmost focus on detail. i am sure you will all love it once it hits the floors and is arranged differently

What a great report, lilach!

All of the photos are so lovely and I can really identify with that 'chic cowgirl look' - I think it is the idea of pairing luxe (leather, silk, cashmere, etc) with my comfy blue jeans and boots that sings to me! I can't wait to see what the scarf patterns will be. . . . I have been hankering for another "Tods Thread" the past few weeks!

Thank you for your thoughts lilach. I feel that the RTW is quite easy to wear for this season, nothing much outrageous or impractical. I love the bracelets too, looks like there would be a large collection of new ones!

ok, had to post this one more time - these are the ultimate in sexy, neutral, go with everything in my closet...

Yep I know, sorry but between my boyfriend and two jobs I don't have much time left for myself (and for the forum) I am doing well, and I hope you are doing great!

I think this dyeing technique is very interesting. Has Hermes shown croc items dyed like this before?

Ouch those joins on the lizard shoulder Kelly are... interesting.... but what do we know about prices/leathers/sizes of this bag?? I am intrigued by it!

[MissMargaux]

I love the suede color, maybe not the cowboy look but the color, in a jacket, not a bag, but a jacket. Oh my thanks for sharing

Oh and the jacket, the color is fabulous, I want the jacket in NON croc. and the suedes and leather clothing minus the fringes etc.

And what cross body bag is that with the black dress? I don't think that's a Jypsey?

I agree Seton, sorry to see less bags

I love the little dark brown shift, but most of the stuff looked ridiculous to me - just not at all wearable for most people. But I know that this is what people expect at Fashion Week - not gorgeous, chic clothing that is beautiful and refined and timeless, but punked up wild stuff. Not at ALL my cup of tea and I really don't think that's just my age talking.

I'm delighted to hear from dear Illach that the fabrics and workmanship are superb. If I didn't still have big upper arms (which due to weight loss and now flapping in the breeze despite weight work!), I'd consider springing for that little shift - just stunning.

Yes. Forgot which season it was tho

lilach, thank you for your thoughtful perspective on the RTW

[pigleto972001]

i think the shoulder kelly was about 9K if i remember correctly, and i'm thinking though a fog right now...sorry!

[Handybags]

Lilach - thank you for your review.

I have to disagree with comments about "wearability". I think this collection is extremely wearable and wearable by many - not just the very tall and/or the very thin. Take away the hats and the extreme "runway" fringing and this collection has something for everyone. Monocromes or colours, long dresses or short, evening and day.

As I love colour, I particualrly like the stripe story and the pretty flowing dresses which are neither too short nor too revealing but subtly sexy. Bravo M. Gautier.
