Hermès, designed by Nadége Vanhé-Cybulski, presented its Fall/Winter 2018-19 women's collection in a special venue set up in the gardens of the Victor-Duruy High School. Although the venue was semi-outdoors, heaters were provided around the seats, and each guest was given a woolen blanket.

The main concept of Nadège Vange-Cybulski's collection was to express the Maison's codes in various approaches, and this season the focus was particularly on leather, an icon of Hermès.
The show started dramatically, aimed at dusk. A calf leather coat with three lines on each side of the waist features chain details from the "Verrou" bag (French for "ruler"); a leather shirt dress features metal parts from the "Piano" bag; a silk-printed dress and a blanket-stitched double-face wool-cashmere jacket feature the studs of the "Medor" bag. Looking closely, diamond shapes resembling the "Medor" studs become visible on the stitching of the quilted jacket and the blouson paired with a back-strap mink collar. Other eye-catching pieces include a western shirt with delicate bead embroidery and a corduroy-style cut mink coat with leather buttons in the shape of "Medor" studs.
Nadège Vange-Cybulski's specialty is the technique of giving each look a unique Hermès feel, whether it's materials, details, or cutting, and bringing them to a complete form. This season, the collection was more Hermès-like and modern than ever before, giving off an intelligent impression.
