HERMES A pair of cotton velvet sneakers from Hermès, anyone? Sports gear from the purveyors of riding boots? Really? But you can get cavalry boots, too, smooth as silk in fine black leather but with streaking lines of red and blue to enliven the classic shape. The breadth of the Hermès shoe offering was shown for the first time in a specially constructed display of mirrored cases, to give the illusion of the reality: a vast number of different offerings.  Most footwear was, of course, in leather, from the company that started off with the saddle. But among classics such as ballet pumps – given a touch of toughness with metal ties – were some bold pieces: a medium-heeled pump in a “tricolour”of turquoise, scarlet and pink; ankle boots with rows of metallic studs. The ultimate in Hermès’s discreet luxury: a leafy green loafer in alligator trimmed with mink. (责任编辑：admin) |
