TRIBUTE TO THE EARTH
The 2020 Limited Edition of Terre d’Hermès pays tribute to the Earth, offering a stylised snapshot of Earth viewed from the sky.
This limited edition has been conceived by Tilman Bartl as “a dialogue between Man and the Earth”. Winner of the online competition launched on the creative platform designboom, the German designer has depicted multiple plots of land to symbolise “the different ingredients used to create Terre d’Hermès”, poetically and graphically assembling the treasures of the earth that make up this emblematic fragrance.
This landscape is embossed on the outer box in an invitation to touch and feel the many vibrations of this universal element. Through this limited edition, Terre d’Hermès continues to convey all the strength and emotion emanating from the soil and composes a new chapter in the very special story that unites Man and the Earth.
This Limited Edition is deployed on the three olfactory signatures of Terre d’Hermès: eau de toilette, Eau Intense Vétiver and parfum.
HERMES BEAUTY IS BORN
Five years in the making, Hermès Beauty came to life in Paris last night.
The luxury of time is, without a doubt, one of the privileges of French maison Hermès, never rushing anything to completion until it has reached utter perfection.
Talking to a selected audience of journalists and guests last night - most flown in from all around the world - Pierre-Alexis Dumas emphasized beauty as a gesture and a way to reveal a woman's personality and true character, as opposed to the transient notion of the artifice.
Hermès Rouge is the first step of a long and hopefully fruitful venture into the exciting world of beauty for the French maison. It was therefore logical - and also strategic - that lipstick was picked as the first gesture within Hermès Beauty, as it is instantly visible on a face and makes a strong statement in any kind of circumstances. The object itself is striking and meant to last, echoing the deeply sustainable nature of anything Hermès creates.
Gathered in a private house within the elegant 16th arrondissement, guests and friends got to sample Hermès Rouge while they were treated to unique performances from actors and singers, as well as delicious food, makeover ateliers and the best champagne Paris can get. When it comes to beauty, Hermès has no intentions to let its high standards slip. Here are some photographs from last night's launch.

A LAIDBACK APPROACH AT HERMÈS
Véronique Nichanian celebrated her first three decades as Hermès' menswear artistic director last year, and she managed to keep her finger on the pulse with this last collection.
Sensing the modern man's current need for ease, relaxed shapes and simplicity, she loosened the silhouette this time and reduced her color palette, too, sticking to neutral tones with occasional dashes of color. The key item within the collection was the pant, and the French designer paid particular attention to volume and proportion. Most styles were long and baggy, with the exception of a few cropped numbers that looked perfectly appropriate with the brand's new leather sandals.
Nichanian also used prim checks and pajama style stripes -mainly for coats and shirting- to evoke an informal feeling, which gave the collection a holiday vibe. Of course, the French House is all about intricate luxury, and buttersoft leather pants looked as cozy as an old pair of jeans. For the show finale, Nichanian crafted exquisite printed pieces, which looked refined and nonchalant at once. Loose shirts were styled with cropped stripy pants and foulard printed jackets looked slim and elegant. It was smart from Nichanian to refer to the House's unique heritage while keeping the silhouette cool and minimal. The beauty and precision of those prints were enough to win you over.
