Let's go shopping shall we?Hermès is once again faultlessly elegant, and completely French. I want it all. Véronique Nichanian has got it down pat, and because the Hermès quality is so evidently, so proudly, superior, her work never seems merely, glibly, commercial. There is no sense of the formulaic here, although no big trend statements are ever made, no grand creative gestures. I guess just the gleaming perfection seems exciting in itself, so there is no need for hyperbolic design statements. I've long been a fan of their Pierre Hardy sandals and this season makes me sigh out loud (SOL)!
