Hermès Transforms its Madison Ave Boutique into a Record Store

Hermès‘ Madison Ave boutique has done a complete revamp for 10 days as part of the label’s men’s Silk Series initiative, meant to highlight the broad range of scarves and other accessories.

The collection of silk designs is presented in store in vinyl format as album covers of records making this experience a highly interactive one. Guests are invited to browse through the records to pick the perfect design, similar to how they would pick a record that speaks to them. This approach offers guests an opportunity to explore the men’s silk selection in a conceptually unique manner, while familiarizing themselves with the brand.

Christophe Goineau, the artistic director behind the collection, found this to be a way to keep scarfs and ties part of men’s casual attire. His intent in making foulards with funky prints and presenting them in an unorthodox manner is part of the eight dynamic takeover animations that Hermès will host this year.

From Our View – Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2018

An exclusive front row invitation.

With so many runways on the roster, June’s fashion schedule can be just a tad bit daunting. That is why we put together this invite-only rundown of the very best from Paris Fashion Week. Let EH be your eyes so you can focus on those exclusive after-hours parties instead.

Hermès

Starring a minimal yet chic line of turtlenecks, track pants, zip up hoodies, and baseball jackets, Hermès unveils a range of elegant sports-inspired pieces for its Spring/Summer 2018 collection, incorporating a sophisticated mix of burgundy and brown.

Dior Homme

Dior Homme worked its magic on the classic black suit and white shirt for its Spring/Summer 2018 collection, marching a series of jackets, gilets, and minimal tailcoats down its carpet-grass runway.

Sankuanz

Drawing inspiration from American painter Cy Twombly, Sankuanz experimented with a variety of colors, prints, and fabrics in its Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Featuring an assortment of shirts, hoodies, and trench coats, the Chinese label also stole glances on the runway with its attention-grabbing accessories.

Cerruti 1881

With a soothing color palette, including sangria, cream, and ocean blue, Cerruti 1881’s collection was a feast for the eyes as it showcased a range of jackets, shirts, and knitwear with unique stripes and palm leaf prints.

AMI

Offering a modern, refreshing take on ‘50s classics, including bowling button-down shirts, jumpsuits, and loose trousers, French label AMI boldly played with color in its latest line, placing exquisite pieces against the violet/pink sand that filled its venue at Paris Fashion Week.

PFW: Backstage Hermès Spring/Summer 2018

Hermès took 20th-century athleticism and reconfigured its cultural prowess for Spring/Summer 2018. Distilled and refined, the line stuck to classically constructed tops, but paired the traditional sensibility with oversized bottoms that hung heavy above athletic kicks, geometric accessories providing a sharp accent.
