ive been a big Lemaire fan for several years. his boutique in Paris is extraordinary. I was so excited when he was chosen for Hermes. I love what he has done.
simply beautiful. the fifth look/photo (with the geometric prints) must have been inspired by sonia delaunay. wonder if they know about the upcoming exhibition of sonia delaunay's fashions at the cooper-hewitt national design museum in nyc?
this is such an exciting, dynamic collection, structures, shapes, colors, accessories, styling, everything. wish i could have seen it from the front row.
i just finished blogging about this collection, so exquisite! I call it "fashion nomad"– it channels that old 20s-30s orientalist excursion chic. Imagine a gutsy screen siren traipsing through a Moroccan bazaar.
My post will be up later today, take a look. I only wish I could steal Scott's pics–they are divine and make the clothes look that much better!
I'm so glad to see that this went well. I've been such a fan of Lemaire. I loved what he did at Lacoste, so seeing this makes me so happy to see his style transition so well to Hermes.
Love this collection– the colors are gorgeous! The hats with visors and chinstraps recall for me the Indonesian jilbab style of head scarf. Actually, all these looks have loose, flowing pieces that I could see on wealthy women who cover. After Ungaro, etc. it's great to see a collection that covers things up a little more.
I am not sure why some people were surprised when Lemaire was announced as Gaultier's successor at the helm of Hermès. His talent is undoubted. He turned Lacoste around. He has established a great brand for himself.
That his first collection is a resounding success is everything but a surprise!
i can't say i really like his designs in colors, but for black and neutrals he'd totally done things well the last pic is just awesome a modern-day lady robinhood… great idea !
Such a stunning collection. The epitome of Parisian style from a house with a true pedigree. Let's hope Hermes can hold out against the forces of LVMH! Anna Z.
Spectacular collection by Lemaire! The colors, the textures, the silouettes…magnificent! The workmanship on the leather is what makes Hermes, Hermes. Of course, your photos captured all this so succinctly.
Personnally I think it's a good start for Lemaire. But the collection is not to best. Too 80's, too gimmicky. But there are some great items and we should give Lemaire time to develop his own style within Hermes….
I prefered what Jean Paul Gaultier did for Hermès by far. Not only was it luxurious and beautiful, it had a touch of fantasy and playfulness that was truly the Hermès spirit and made the collections special.
Oh wow. Your first shot is AMAZING. What a great photo.
LOVE this collection, esp. the accessories and boots. Even the quiver works.
Those boots in the last shot are BOOTISH PERFECTION. The perfect pair of boots–perfect heel, perfect colour, perfect knee height, perfect level of softness/stiffness. They are perfect.
Some of the pieces are very pretty, but high waisted, baggy leather pants, as in the first photo?? NEVER. And there were other looks in the show that should stay only on the runway. I am very mixed about this collection.
I find it so interesting that the stairs seen in the background go perfectly with the organic form of all the outfits. Was that a happy mistake or was it premeditated?
It was a very interesting show indeed, lots of mixed textures made it truly unique.
Love the colors. Is it me or is there a strong resemblance to Fall 2011 and the movie Blade Runner? I'm ready for instead of the fashion industry, the travel industry to be a bit more sci-fi as in Transporters with no TSA. :0)
From what I've seen of the fall runway shows, Hermes definitely rules the season! Sleek design, elegant colors, modern yet wearable, marvelous contrasts in materials and shapes…….wow……..
I loved JPG at Hermes so Lemaire's transitioning into the role may take a moment of adjustment for me. One thing that jumps out though (besides those delicious boots in the last photo) is the simplicity and wearability of the shapes, all the better to show off the exquisite craftsmanship and quality of materials upon which Hermes prides itself.
Each look is more incredible than the other. FABULOUS! To make a debut with this sort of detail and imagination is truly inspiring and something I admire w/out equal.
the last picture is perfection to me… i have the little red riding hood on my mind while seeing this..its amazing the leather looks so soft.. xx the cookies
i love the stage set for this show – the staircase is like a contemporary urban view, people (models in this case) walking throgh the city scape. You also see the blue sky in the background and the models are bathed in low sunlight at the top of the stairs – nice touch! The wooden architectural structure is beautiful too, and match the clothes well. Only the tiled floor is a bit too much (bit I guess the patchwork and handicraft detailing in the collection carried them off into fetish land.. but a beautiful collection staged in the most precise way, imitating the "real world" of the city.
I agree. It had mixed reviews but I like Lemaire's viewpoint and I loved the colour palette and tunic shapes. Can't believe that people called this 'boring'!
Love the Twenties futurist simplicity of the whole vision – it has that sense of modernism as something fresh, exciting and forward looking (but wrapped in a classic shell)
its awesome to see a collection that brings new ideas. to many fashion shows just show over and over again what a see in magazines and store windows. when i look at collections i do want to see something new. But…… Robin hood? seriously?

Hermes is my favourite collection from the shows. It looks as if they went back to the 1920's and Art Deco for their inspiration.
The designs remind me of beautiful 1920's Vogue magazine illustrated covers, Nancy Cunard sporting armloads of Art Deco bracelets, and Man Ray photos.
Is that a bad thing? I think not!

Since becoming part of Luis Vuitton Hermes is even more luxuriant than ever. Now with Buglari joining the group collaboration will be even more fun: http://eyeinform.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/lvmh-buys-bvlgari/

The model in the brown boots looks

I like the blue dress (??) and the floor-length dress. I found it quite amusing that there was robin-hood outfit. That made me laugh.

This was a trully amazing collection. Prada's was not. But with Hermes you can never go wrong.

i love the stage set for this show – the staircase is like a contemporary urban view, people (models in this case) walking throgh the city scape. You also see the blue sky in the background and the models are bathed in low sunlight at the top of the stairs – nice touch! The wooden architectural structure is beautiful too, and match the clothes well. Only the tiled floor is a bit too much (bit I guess the patchwork and handicraft detailing in the collection carried them off into fetish land.. but a beautiful collection staged in the most precise way, imitating the "real world" of the city.

Wowee – I had been a bit discouraged over the past couple of seasons, and this moved me like nothing has in some time.

Was fantastic? The worst collection for Hermés ever… It's totally different from the Hermés, an Lemaire is definitely a different designer than what Hermés needs.

Am I the only one who finds this collection unimaginative and boring?

I agree with some of the other readers; this collection immediately reminded me of Lempicka's paintings.

I agree. It had mixed reviews but I like Lemaire's viewpoint and I loved the colour palette and tunic shapes. Can't believe that people called this 'boring'!

Love it. Very much the style of Lempicka's paintings.

Love the Twenties futurist simplicity of the whole vision – it has that sense of modernism as something fresh, exciting and forward looking (but wrapped in a classic shell)

its awesome to see a collection that brings new ideas. to many fashion shows just show over and over again what a see in magazines and store windows. when i look at collections i do want to see something new. But…… Robin hood? seriously?
