HOT IN HERMÈS
With a refined spring/summer line that’s exquisitely textured and richly colored and detailed, Hermès reinstates its core aesthetic of quiet modernism one that plays well into the lifestyle of the upwardly mobile. This French house was doing athleisure before the term was even coined in the fashion glossary among its earliest forays into the genre active attire for equestrians, tennis players, and other athletes. Its Men’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection is punctuated with color as well as a sense of lightness, keeping with the codes of modern man style. Some winning looks from the new lines are seen here. hermes.com
