Nichanian envisioned looks for every kind of summer in the city — hot, cool, or rainy. The collection includes leather sandals with woven straps for scorching days, soft knit vests for breezy evenings, and buttery leather blouson jackets in shades like clarified butter yellow for unexpected showers.
Silhouettes are relaxed, loose, and layered. Open striped shirts are styled over deep V-neck tees or under safari jackets. Silk shantung suits and lightweight blazers come with scarves and neckerchiefs in both vivid and muted tones — from grassy green to silvery grey.
Hermès’ iconic silks are pushed to their limits, appearing not just around the neck but as colorful pleated panels on minimalist, collarless shirts paired with high-waisted trousers featuring built-in belts. Leather shirts and pants are made more intricate with delicate perforations that look almost like lace.
Knitwear plays a starring role too: a chocolate sailor-collar sweater is trimmed with chunky ribbing, short-sleeved polos feature raw seams, and oversized V-neck sweaters stand out with zigzag perforations.
The overall mood is one of lightness and freedom to move — an effortlessly chic wardrobe for the man who thrives in the city but dreams of escaping on a long weekend. For that, Hermès has the perfect travel accessories: textured canvas and calfskin bags, roomy garment bags trimmed in tobacco leather, and versatile totes ready for spontaneous getaways.
