Trend REPORT Nitin Bal Chauhan ELEVATED Antar Agni Balmain Giambattista Valli WHITES Givenchy The ummatched Valentino elegance of this colour is the reason white wears the ‘king of classics’ crown. But this time, the designers heard those who desire more than just an elegant colour and added delicate embroideries, textures, prints, and patterns to create an exciting mix. Consider Balmain and Antar Agni for cosy comfort, Giambattista Valli for a stroll in the gardens of Versailles, Givenchy and Anavila for a demure vibe, and Alexander McQueen to raise the temperatures.

Etro Two Point Two Christian Siriano Ashish N Soni Alexander McQueen Dhruv Kapoor Aartivijay Gupta Peter Do DRAMA QUEEN While over-the-top looks are ideal for grabbing attention, this season has brought with it many a detail that do the job just as well. Be it a bold colour, à la Alexander McQueen or Christian Siriano, contrasting panels at Peter Do, or eclectic prints seen at Ashish N Soni, Aartivijay Gupta, and Two Point Two (along with that ruffle detail at the waist!)...the devil truly lies in the details. Accessories are crucial for this trend: pair chic jewels with a striking hue, a solid bag or pair of shoes will add finesse to a printed piece, while subtle colour-blocking by way of pastel accessories elevates a neutral look. 53

Louis VuittonRick OwensTrend REPORT Huemn POWER PLAY Alexander McQueen The ’80s called, and the structured shoulder detail is back...albeit a twist. The Saint Laurent trend has had a tough image owing to its rise at the peak of the women’s liberation movement. But this season, the power shoulder is not reserved just for sharp-cut pantsuits, but also seen with interesting pairings like feminine mini dresses, glamorous gowns, everyday jeans, athleisure styles, and voluminous trench coats, allowing you to experiment as per your personal style. 54 Suneet Varma Pankaj & Nidhi Givenchy IMAGE COURTESY: BRANDS

BazaarSTYLE The HERMES PR INCIPL E All clothing and accessories, Hermès

When Nadège Vanhée- For the Artistic Director Cybulski, Artistic Director of Hermès womenswear, of Hermès’s womenswear, Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski, was 19—or maybe 21; those years, she says, are a bit creating clothes that blurry—she put together a are at once as classic look she was really proud of: “I wore huge, baggy, really oversized Levi’s with tiny, tiny, skinny black as a Birkin and as T-shirts,” she tells me. “I had really short, short hair, modern as a crop top and I used to wear these white clogs.” is much more than At the time, Nadège was a student at the Royal a balancing act. Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium, the Antwerp It’s a raison d’être. fashion school renowned for producing such talents as Photographs by Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, and Dries Van Noten. She describes her collegiate aesthetic back CAMILLE VIVIER then as “sort of techno, with mystique”. She was really Text by into Britpop; as a teen in Lille in northern France, she and a friend wrote for a music zine as a way to get into LeAH CHERNIKOFF shows for free. Styling by It’s hard to picture Nadège, now 43, with “short, HANNES HETTA short” hair, so distinctive are her long auburn waves, porcelain complexion, and serene expression, which Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski have, on more than one occasion, garnered comparisons to a Renaissance portrait. Her look when we meet—a 59 tan cashmere coat with toggle clasps, a dark sweater, jeans, and a brown Kelly 32—is also a far cry from anything that could be characterised as “techno, with mystique.” Instead, she projects a precise and restrained cool, a quality she brings to the runway. Nadège got the top job at Hermès in 2014, following the departure of her predecessor, Christophe Lemaire. Her appointment was then-new Executive Chairman Axel Dumas’s first major move at the luxury House, and it signaled a dedication to ready-to-wear as a growth category. Eight years on, Nadège’s found her groove, marrying the refined quality of Hermès’s craft with understated, modern designs. Going to work at an 185-year-old French House like Hermès, weighty with history and heritage, could feel overwhelming. But Nadège simply breaks it down into pieces. “Regarding the DNA [of the brand]...I’m not a geneticist, but it’s Legos, right?” She remembers that when she got the job, she was “very, very, very enthusiastic to start at Hermès because there’s what you know about the House: the quiet style, the accurateness.” Then, there is the aura that surrounds it. Stepping into the role, she says, felt like entering a hidden realm where she could finally “see how this magic works.” Each new collection, she explains, is a chance to design a new structure with the same building blocks. “You need to be the architect and construct with it so it’s not stagnant,” she says. “It’s quite dynamic.”

BazaarSTYLE These skills come to bear in a comically real way as “It’s strange we settle in for a chat at the restaurant of the swanky to say that Hermès Carlyle Hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. (Nadège is in New York for a dinner, which ultimately is ‘ democratic,’ gets canceled as Omicron rages on). It’s the third but I really believe location we’ve attempted for our interview.

And then a funny when Martin Margiela and Jean Paul Gaultier were thing happened: a fervour for the shoes broke out designing for the House in the late 1990s and 2000s. among fashion’s most discerning. They seemed to be “And I think that [Nadège’s] clothing respects that.” on every editor’s and stylist’s shopping list, as Whereas, Robin suggests, the Gaultier years leaned breathless posts gushed over the new “status clog.” too far into “capital-F fashion”, she says Nadège “is Within weeks, they were sold out. doing a better job of straddling the line between respecting this idea that these clothes have a long shelf Hermès’s famed leather goods, notably its Birkin and life but also making sure that they still feel Kelly bags, have always stirred up a frenzy; the wait contemporary and easy, not stuffy.” lists to get certain styles are legendary. But for a pair of clogs? “It’s one of the most simple and unattractive Nadège is uncharacteristically accessible for things,” Nadège says of the shoe. “I was surprised.” someone in her position. Typically, an Artistic Director from a major luxury brand will be guarded What is telling about the success of the clog—and by flanks of flacks like a celebrity. But on this chilly of Nadège’s womenswear for Hermès, in general (last day in early December, it’s just the two of us schlepping year, third-quarter sales of ready-to-wear were up from location to location until we find a suitable place 43 percent compared with pre-pandemic 2019)—is to talk. It’s intentional, she says. “I said to [the team], how she approaches what might seem like a I just want to have a one-to-one.” contradictory remit. She needs to create seasonal collections that must consider and respond to trends— She feels similarly about the brand; she wants people which are, by their definition, fleeting—at a company to be able to find a way in. I mention the broader, renowned for its timelessness. In other words, the cultural impact of some of Hermès’s most famous Birkin’s appeal endures because of the way it is accessories—namely the Birkin, which shows up made—by hand, by artisans who have trained for on everyone, from well-heeled ladies in Paris’s years, using the finest materials—has remained largely 16th arrondissement to J.Lo as she’s exiting the gym, unchanged for decades. What’s on the runway has to and has even been memorialised in countless rap change every six months. Nadège deadpans: “I’m songs. “It’s pop,” she says. “It’s strange to say that always asking of myself, ‘What is this oxymoron? I’m Hermès is ‘democratic,’ but I really believe it is.” doing fashion at Hermès.’” Strange because, for most people, Hermès is prohibitively expensive; the cost of the ready-to-wear She appears unfazed by that challenge. Nadège 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. In her 60

is typically in the thousands of dollars, while All clothing and accessories, a Birkin or Kelly will run in the five figures. Hermès She clarifies: “Good taste is for everybody. You can say, ‘Okay, I’m buying this piece, and it’s a piece that is going to last.’ If you divide it by the years that it lasts, it’s actually a very good rate. But you also have things that are, maybe, more accessible: the bracelets, the make-up, the scarf.” Before Nadège’s arrival at Hermès, her profile was chicly inauspicious; unlike many of her peers, she had no public Instagram presence (and still doesn’t). But her résumé at labels known for their quiet luxury teed her up perfectly for the job. After graduating from Antwerp’s Royal Academy, Nadège did stints at a holy trinity of minimalist fashion: at Maison Martin Margiela in the mid aughts, at Céline under Phoebe Philo, and, most recently, in New York as Design Director for the Row. She is the first woman to serve as Hermès’s womenswear Artistic Director in decades. (Catherine de Karolyi designed Hermès’s first women’s ready-to-wear collection in 1967, and Lola Prusac designed for the House in the 1920s and ’30s). The role was held by Gaultier and Margiela before Lemaire. And unlike Lemaire, Gaultier, and Margiela, Nadège is not also working on her own separate namesake collection. Nadège continues to fly under the radar on social media (“It’s just too much performance”), but she has a private account where she follows people and entities she considers “genuine,” like East Village Shoe Repair (@eastvillageshoerepair_bk), which posts photos of its custom, upcycled platform shoes, and the Zürich vintage shop, The Pink Sheep. Nadège’s tastes and inspirations are specific. For the Fall 2022 collection, she says she referenced the work of Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri, known for his softly saturated colours, and created a story around loden, the moss-green wool. Nadège believes that her gender, or the fact that she is a newish mother, should have no bearing on her career. “I don’t know why we always have to justify how women are dealing with their private life and passion,” she says when I ask how motherhood during lockdown affected her work. (She does admit that “the motherhood

BazaarSTYLE All clothing and accessories, was new, the lockdown was new, and so it was about Hermès trying to keep it together”). Fair enough; our society rarely expects successful men to expound on how they “have it all”—mostly because they already do. She is, however, willing to concede that her designs are more personal and that her femininity is wrapped up in them. “I’m fed up with hearing that a woman should not wear this, or if they wear this they’ll get hit on,” she says. “It’s always this very moral gaze, which has been constructed mainly by men.” Hermès’s consolidated revenue in 2019 was €6.8 billion (`56,123 crore approx). The company is family run, but it’s big and corporate, a departure from The Row, where Nadège could talk to founders Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen easily. I ask if she ever has to fight for her ideas. “Yes,” she tells me, “because I’m a creative person, and I will take risks.” Such as? “I think it’s showing a much more sensual woman,” she says. “I feel like I can do it because I’m a woman.” If there is a thread that runs through Nadège’s designs, it’s a kind of intellectual sensuality. This past November, Hermès threw a “Grand Soir” to celebrate its Spring 2022 collection at a sprawling mid-century estate just outside L.A. that was once home to Frank Sinatra. It was one of the first over-the-top, celeb-filled fashion parties on the circuit since the start of the pandemic. Models paraded around a pool in midi-length dresses done in the supplest leather, with drawstring-waist skirts and bustier tops; there were even some crop tops and high-waisted wide-leg pants—an Hermès take on a Gen Z silhouette. To temper any self-seriousness, filmmaker Miranda July narrated the runway with absurdist humour. It was easy to picture actress Leslie Mann and her 19-year-old daughter, Iris Apatow, both of whom were in attendance, each wearing pieces from the collection. Bringing the next generation into Hermès is something Nadège thinks about. “It’s a sign of vitality if young women and men are coming and saying, ‘Hey, I like this,’ ” she says. But, she says, it is never so contrived; there are no marketing goals she has to contend with or age demographics to target. “If you put too much [emphasis on] analysis and algorithm, it’s a product, not an object anymore... With an object, there is also imagination, desire, and pleasure.” It’s much deeper than that. For Nadège, the idea that Hermès can be “for everyone” is rooted in its history. “The idea of craftsmanship is not just excelling in a technique,” she explains. “It’s also the transmission of knowledge...and the transmission of an object from a mother to a child.”Q Models: Iris Delcourt and Christie Munezero.
