Hermès F/W 2008.09 Paris

[eugenius]

I loved Spring 2007 even if it wasn’t my all time favorite. It felt very resort and maybe under-designed for the time. I bought my first Hermès accessories because of that show. I had the shoes from that collection (gone now) but also the Medor accessories (belt and cuff).
And looking back, JPG is the one who had the most fun with the Hermès icons. He redesigned the bags, he played with the accessories, he did a lot of foulard inspired stuff, played with the horse-riding…And he pushed the atelier. I remember in his last show he did translucide alligator or something like that.

The accessories were really good! He had a line of silver jewelry by, I think, Pierre Hardy that was all sorts of stylish. I don't think I've bothered to pay any attention to their accessories line nowadays.

See below for the translucent crocodile coat. Very nice!
