Demonstrating the multifaceted nature of high-end fashion, Nichanian’s designs for Hermès are renowned for their crisp lines, understated silhouettes, and use of premium materials.
Models showcased classic pieces such as, thick sheepskin coats, checked suits, sleek leather jackets, and a special pea-green bomber jacket. Noteworthy pieces included a reversible leather coat lined with a soft, light-colored fabric, and a sheer, lightweight parka revealing the pattern of a checked suit. Nichanian also introduced modifications to classic apparel, such as a lavender-hued chunky Argyle sweater vest and readjusted shirt pockets. The collection featured tailored items, including a sleek suit crafted from polished calfskin that shimmered under the runway lights.
