does anyone have info on the designer veronique nichanian?
Worked for Cerruti , and I think , Armani .
Has been at Hermes for a large number of years , as the unchallanged menswear designer .
There was an article in Arena Homme Plus some years ago , but I can't find it .
Modeaparis gives only the Hermes website rather than a designer biography , as is the case with other houses.
Sorry I cannot be of more help .

PS
I admire her quiet authority . she's NOT a celebrity designer like Tom Ford or John Galliano , but she gets on with the job !
Ironically , her work for men's Hermes eptomises that quintessential French chic which can also be seen in other French icons with her Armenian roots .
eg Charles Aznavour(ian) .
Alain Mikli(an) .
Hermes clothes may be EVEN MORE expensive than Dior Homme , and that's saying something !
But they really ARE treasures that one can aspire to .
