Hermes has recently released a new men's collection that holds a blend of practicality and longing.
Cashmere and flannel, lamb wool and different textured leather gently caress the body. The design pays attention to the everyday chic and homage to at-home relaxation with, for example, a hidden pocket on the leather back of a pea coat serving as a symbol of patchwork care done to preserve a well-loved piece of clothing. Colors such as charcoal, gravel, fog, caramel, brown, coffee, camel, navy, ivory and black, reveal muted tones that grow in richness and speak to one another, shot through with a flash of light, intense as winter light.
The hand of the craftsman filled these clothes with stories through braided leathers and knits that carry the trace of multiple lives, in the palimpsests of scarves on knitwear, in fragments of leather on a jacket, in an Irish cable knit born in color and asserted in stitching, in framing effects and the silk yoke of a cardigan.
