Artistic Director of Hermès’ Men’s Universe, Véronique Nichanian, described the feeling of this years collection as “sophisticated letting go”. On first impressions, the cool, laid-back selections appears to call upon a younger audience, showcasing oversized hoodies and track pants in technical fabrics. However, a man of any generation could feel well-dressed and relaxed in one of Nichanian’s cotton suits, paired with plain monk sandals or trainers to give it a youthful touch. Jumping on the streetwear bandwagon, this French ensemble feels special, yet surprisingly normal.
Get the casual, laid-back look with hooded blousons, pullovers and crew necks.
