Dries Van Noten: It was a psychedelic trip to the tropics with a bit of disco thrown in. Is your head spinning yet? It should be. Only a mixmaster like Dries van Noten could pull off a combination of those three themes and turn it into one of the best collections of the season so far. There were kaleidoscopic spiral prints like a bold silver and black overcoat with swirly lines or yellow pinwheel prints on navy skirts and dresses. Yellow and fuchsia Hawaiian lily prints came on pieces like a navy shift dress with bell sleeves that was decorated with cascading orange lilies pinned to one shoulder or on a tunic top with a triple pinwheel print down the center worn over a ruffled grey skirt with a fuschia lily print. Evening looks had touches of silver lame, like a menswear-inspired black suit worn with a ruffled high-collar white shirt and a shiny silver crop top. A sparkly blouse was worn with a tangerine knee-length skirt with a silver lily print, and a fully silver lamé sleeveless drop waist dress pinned with more of those bright orange lilies made for a stunning and unusual contrast. The explosion of colors and prints amounted to a wild mix that left us delightfully dizzy.

Hermès: The industry’s consummate globe-trotting luxury giant journeyed to the stacks this season, setting the stage in a Parisian bibliothèque where sleepy-eyed eds got a jolt of joie while lounging in leather-backed furniture to witness Christophe Lemaire’s triumphant offering for Fall. Nomadic glamazons stomped out in silk crème blouses tucked into high-waisted, leather midi skirts or relaxed trousers in varying shades of grey. Luxe coats came draped nonchalantly over shoulders leaving an air of covetability in their wake. In particular, the fur-colored cognac bomber was a unanimous smash hit. Ditto for the much buzzed about olive cape, which opened the show on a high note. As for accessories, Lemaire kept it light this season, save for a batch of leather belts, a handful of bracelets, and a couple casual, all-purpose handbags. A calculated study in chic from start to fini.
