Like Kering, LVMH and Chanel, Hermès announced yesterday the “temporary” closure of its stores in Russia.
At the time of the presentation of its fall-winter 2022-2023 women's collection, this Saturday March 5 at 2:30 p.m., demonstrations of support for Ukraine are starting to resonate in the capital.
In terms of decor, it's time for sobriety.
No big media circus, no artistic statement.
In one of the rooms of the Republican Guard in Paris where the parade is being held, the floor has been covered with pale green sand and the rows of khaki green bleachers quietly await the guests.
Point.
Only the scenography allows itself a little poetry.

Devilishly sexy
The fashion show starts high up through rectangular openings and the models parade first accompanied by their Chinese shadow before descending on the runway.
The look?
A subversive elegance in black and white punctuated with pale green, earthenware blue or ebony brown with luxurious games of knits and leather all in transparency that lead the Hermès girl to other crossroads.
Her key look is microshorts adorned with bell chains paired with second-skin jersey sweaters and knit gaiters that go up to the thighs above fitted square-toed boots.
She sometimes wears loose open cashmere and mohair coats and a few flowing silk muslin dresses that give her a spirit of freedom while moving at a distance.
We also notice her in her very fitted black zipped jumpsuit or when she steps forward in a shiny black leather micro dress which stands out against her off-white silk ruffled collar sweater.
A devilishly sexy but restrained girl that we imagine moving forward while questioning ourselves.
