Lemaire’s Summer

October 7, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Christophe Lemaire is definitely one of the hot names in Paris. He is designing for Hermes, and his own, beautiful label, making both of the houses minimalistic and fresh. At Hermes, Christophe took us to the jungle- but in very luxurious way. More, you wouldn’t go to the jungle in one of these jumpsuit, but live in one of these luxurious hotels with villas… Presented in a beautiful environment with lots of palms and trees, the collection was a mix of practical resort life and luxurious Hermes heritage. And if looking to the Lemaire’s line, we may be still located around the palm trees, but in a beautiful living room in one of Saint Honore apartments in Paris. SS14 for Christophe Lemaire was all about Parisian chic cut with a twist of exotic life. And the shoes… They really look awesome!

Chic. Christophe Lemaire SS14

What I love most about Paris Fashion Week’s beginnings, are the collection of all these emerging designers… Well, I lobe the Chanel-Celine part too, but the first one is so… Modern, elegant and elusive! After Julien David’s and Anthony’ Vaccarello’s presentation I want even more of this kind of talents- and here is one- Christophe Lemaire! This young Parisian that for few seasons is an art director at Hermes RTW, is known for his minimalistic Elegance aesthetics… And best presentation venues. This season it’s an super chic Summer living room with palms and curtains… It really works out with the collection for me! I am simply in love with all that beige on coats and this green jumpsuit… So tres chic!

Hitchcockian Seduction

June 26, 2013August 7, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Hermes by Christophe Lemaire for AW13 is revisting the Hitchcock woman into a new generation- perfect anonymous chic to provide a subtle charge. This is what Parisian Hermes should be like- a bit menswear, elegant and super chic. This is a antidote for the colour splash on the street style, that for a long time won’t wear Hermes for everyday. But why? Too expensive? Yes it is,but not form these Russian girls and American billlionaires. Hermes clothes do not have a label name EVERYWHERE. Ok, when Mira Duma wears this black tweed costume with fur pompon, there is no double C on it, but everyone who is interested a bit in fashion knows it’s Chanel. What I love in Hermes is the classical touch and this simplicity in every cape, fur… That is so beautiful!

Hunter Lady

For some time I thought about these two things- an animal versus a hunter. These two things are quite common in fashion! You know, animal have colours, wilderness, beauty, feathers, fur and so on. And hunters, so humans- not much- a weapon, hunting boots and coats. And sometimes a horse. This pair have something that links them together- fashion! And the AW13 season. For example Jean Charles De Castelbajac and Felipe Oliveira Baptista- both of them have animals on their amazing dresses. Even the atmosphere around them is wild and sensitive. Christophe Lemaire and Sacai are the hunters- coats or jackets, boots and trousers. Only a gun is needed and a hourse to make these two hunters! Animals and hunters will never be friends, the same as in fashion- never gonna match. But still, that’s interesting thing!
