TOP marks for show location. It was a treat
to be invited to the Orangerie et Jardin du Luxembourg this afternoon
for Christophe Lemaire’s spring offering for Hermes.
What a delight to sit amongst fruit trees, glossy palms and other
foliage as models walked their way around this sunlight-filled venue,
along a gravel path.
Exotic-looking waterlily florals (a jungle vibe has been a recurring idea this season) opened the show. Printed on cotton tunics and trousers, the print even extended to boots. Those lush prints took their cue from French artist, Henri Rousseau, but then, the Hermes woman would know that already, she likely owns a couple.
What will she want from this collection? Most probably those printed pieces, yes, and those chic scarf tops that wafted in the breeze, a linen trouser suit that will take her anywhere come spring, and of course any one of Lemaire’s sumptuous suede kaftans or full skirts in pops of teal, or quite possibly, she’ll want a pair of his culottes cut from finest crocodile, and why not?
There was – refreshingly - nothing tricksy to fathom here; it was a collection of beautiful separates that any wealthy woman would be happy to pick up for a summer spent home or away. How wonderful these pieces would look on a smart safari or somewhere in the tropics.
