HERMÈS, 1980's

Hermès president Jean-Louis Dumas was quoted saying that Hermès had been able to survive nearly two centuries due to “the idea that we create tradition by shaking it up.” These expertly tailored trousers in grey suede are adorned with silver concha medallions running down the seam from waist to ankle. This subversion of traditional woman’s slacks is a result of the edgy hardware detailing that lends a touch of edginess to an otherwise classic silhouette.
