Hermès Men’s Fall/Winter 2022 Collection
Veronique Nichanian's latest collection for the Maison is full of micro gestures.
Everything Veronique Nichanian has done for the House of Hermès is rooted around her customer, tools and objects of desire to grant them the freedom to be what they want to be. While the Hermès Men's Fall/Winter 2022 collection still circles back to the DNA she has established — self-standing, iconic, and exceptionally crafted pieces — she is thinking about joyfulness this year: an emotion mixed in with oxymorons that clash before kissing and making up.
This sense of joyfulness, however (like they say, watching an Hermès fashion show gives one a serious shot of dopamine to the brain), is not derived from attempting to make one look younger than he really is or warping him into a fantasy world. It is simply the joy that one gets when he puts a piece on that is as liberating as it is gorgeous. Sometimes sensual and, other times, gritty in glamor. One can’t deny that Nichanian is one of the most pragmatic designers in the industry but in one that sometimes riffs off on goofiness and hyper-trends, practicality is perfection.
Lest we get overboard, let's talk about what the "micro gestures" at the Hermès Men's Fall/Winter 2022 collection: small little schemes of styling that make a difference.
Here, see our 10 favorite looks from the Hermès Fall/Winter 2022 collection.
Look 1
The show immediately opens and telegraphs two micro gestures of the season, a crinkly material that provides texture on shirts and coats. The rustling sound one will make can prove quite pleasing.
Look 7
The Hermès Men's Fall/Winter 2022 collection is big on the funnel neck aka the sophisticated look of a turtleneck without the fuss. As for the silhouette of pants? A wide cuff is going to be big.
Look 13
How does Nichanian layer for the Hermès Men's Fall/Winter 2022 collection without the bulk? Light separates anchored down a pair of hefty trousers for visual balance.
Look 15
At the Hermès Men's Fall/Winter 2022 show, a new material innovation called technical satin that has both the gloss and glamor without the fuss.
Look 18
One of the greatest micro-details from the show? A scarf worn nonchalantly around the neck in a method that’s called the "draped front neck."
Look 25
Next season, think about everything a two-piece in leather can do for your fit. In this case, it makes even the most basic of colors look elevated and interesting.
Look 26
The macro detail? These winter fits are lighter and easier. The micro detail? The suit lapel brooch is back.
Look 34
It’s never an Hermès collection if Nichanian herself does not inject a vibrant shot of color. The Fall/Winter 2022 shade is aptly called pop orange.
Look 39
Another pop-out shade? It’s a pale pink that punctuates even the most serious of colors.
Look 43
The pièce de résistance and the trophy item of the show? A crocodile jacket. The micro detail it telegraphs? Winter is all about catching the light.
