Can you imagine interpreter walking behind CD like behind Xi and just say “higher heels” or “walk slowly” or “bigger birkin” ? 😂😂😂 @Lola701 is absolutely right, I don’t think Hermes ever had CD who doesn’t speak French and is outside of French culture per se. I bet it’s gonna be some French menswear designer from within a team and that’s all. Any speculation about big name proves just the lack of understanding of key principles: continuity and humility.

I forgot to add something about Hermès key principles: continuity and humility. I find it very ironic they talk about humility, when they practically make their customers beg them for being allowed to buy one of their handbags.

You know what, in a lot of ways, I find it ridiculous and it’s almost sad to see to what extend people are willing to go for those 2 bags but you know what? Kudos to the S.A.

Officiellement, they don’t know about the « Hermes game » but officieusement, they let their S.A. do it because it increase sales on most of their activities.

I said it many times but if they made better clothes, good looking clothes, they wouldn’t have to do that.

I don’t think anybody in France who lives in France really suffers to get them. You can have Birkin in Lyon on a random afternoon lol.

Exactly! I also think they should make a strong RTW, which could stand on its own. That way they won´t be relying only on the bags and they could get more relevance in the fashion conversation (because even if they are not interested in it, that means more sales).

Maintaining that nothing look is absolutely crucial for Hermes RTW and HC to survive and succeed.

Well, I didn't really see that coming, after not getting the Vuitton job I expected GWB to land at a smaller brand tbh. I guess they wanna try to make Hermès menswear a bit hipper and more international but still keep it calm.
