Hermes: Perfect ending to Fashion Week!

Hermes RTW Spring 2011

The Hermes show was a perfect end to Fashion Week in Paris, as it also marked the end of Jean-Paul Gaultier's 7 year tenure at the design house.  Absolutely loved the equestrian show, with a woodchip runway, dressage horses strutting at the end of the catwalk, and massive chandeliers.  Jodhpurs, bustiers, tan leather, suede ponchos, fringe, riding boots--the entire collection was like a dream in a Seville stable.  Neutral colors are all over the runways for Spring/Summer 2011, and we love the minimal cropped cuts matched with Gaultier's baroque sensibility.   Also, those riding school hats are amahze, no??

Here's the finale of the show:

The riding look is always in style, and luckily this is one trend that we can all start on early!  Caramel colors, leather, and tall flat boots are things to start wearing right now and throughout the fall.  Wear your hair in a long braid with a silk scarf for a classic Hermes look.  And of course, finish off the look with a buttery leather bag from Kage and some skinny black jeans from J Brand from Gramercy!

KAGE and J Brand...a perfect combo

Stay tuned for tons more Fashion Week coverage!  There's so much from Paris, Milan, and New York.  It's all wonderfully overwhelming!!
