The artistic director of Hermès on creating clothes that are classic and modern
Leah Chernikoff profiles the artistic director of Hermès Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski for the April issue of Harper's Bazaar. The designer describes how she turned clogs into a status symbol and responds to trends while working at a 185-year-old French fashion house known for timelessness. "Vanhée-Cybulski has proved to be remarkably adept at creating covetable designs that feel fresh while drawing on various elements of Hermès's centuries-old tradition of quality and attention to detail to achieve them," Chernikoff writes. "In her Spring 2022 collection, she finished the hems, collars and cuffs on roomy tunics, sleek overalls and boxy day coats with leather trim dotted with studs, hardware typically used for leather goods." {Harper's Bazaar}
