Hermès Sends A Message Of Resilience For Fall/Winter 2021 Collection

We can never have enough of Paris Fashion Week, whether it’s a digital event or not, and Hermès just reminded us of the reason we love PFW that much. Creative Director Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski proved that simplicity is key and the chic vibes that come with it will never die.
The iconic French house took us in a tour around the world in fashion, with live presentations in three parts from New York to Paris and Shanghai. The theme throughout the show was movement.
Infused with radiant mystery, power, the Hermès woman, if asked, might not even recall these last few months, preferring to remember more uncomplicated times. For her, being stuck in a rut, remaining motionless, is purely an abstract idea. She’s all about movement.
“It is urgent now to live again” said Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski. It is a time of rebuilding: so much remains to be explored, beginning with womanhood, a concept that has changed quite a lot these past few years. Time flies, which is surely a sign that we need to reinvent ourselves.
This collection is an expression of the desire to explore the sensuality of new mythologies. The checkered pattern works like a painting that gets right to the point, with a gesture as pure and simple as adorning the human form with rectangles.
Clothes as suitable for nightlife as for everyday life; opposites no longer opposed; contradictions fly out the window as classifications disappear into the play of fabrics and pleats. A suit is cut parka-style, ignoring the rules of tailoring. The padded anorak makes an appearance, and the pants are cycling ones.
We loved the trims on cashmere blankets, and long jackets, coats and ponchos with integrated scarves supplying the protection one needs to feel strong, without ever hindering movement. Something to wear while taking the present in stride.
