Hermès Fall 1998

Hermès Fall 1998, inside the Margiela years: a private uniform with the lights left low.

The house codes are still there, but drained of announcement. Long coats, sleeveless shells, leather sleeves, flat boots, gloves, cashmere, grey wool, tobacco brown, black. Luxury held like a tool, not a trophy.

It is almost hostile in how little it performs. Monastic, office-punk, weatherproof, expensive without asking to be seen. A wardrobe for people who know exactly what they are looking at.
