V&eacute;ronique Nichanian beats the heat with spacious silhouettes, floaty construction, and thigh-baring short shorts.

Summer 2023 turned out to be the hottest on record, and with the heatwave showing no signs of abating, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/best-runway-looks-hermes-mens-fall-winter-2024-collection-fashion-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">V&eacute;ronique Nichanian</a> decided to beat the swelter with a menswear collection that stirs like a sweet summery breeze. For Spring/Summer 2024, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/hermes-mens-new-gentlemans-shoe-collection-footwear-menswear-luxury-fashion-accessories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herm&egrave;s</a> frees the body with spacious silhouettes and floaty construction. Loose-fitting tunics are gusseted at the collar for extra breathing room. Wide-leg trousers swish and frolic with every step. Even the knits are lightweight enough for the cooler hours. Everything flickers languidly, in a hazy mirage of desert, steam and sage hues.

The heat provides an excellent excuse to show skin; Nichanian does so by exposing a bare torso under superimposed see-through layers, featuring an openwork &ldquo;graph paper&rdquo; mesh. Exhibition without stripping &mdash; Herm&egrave;s continues to be an exemplar of good taste. Jackets and shirting in a semi-opaque &ldquo;tracing paper&rdquo; fabrication effect gauzy ethereality, their transparencies shifting under daylight to reveal and conceal what&rsquo;s underneath. Micro-mesh overshirts, T-shirts and tank tops offer ventilation, while a calfskin blouson is perforated with the mosaic motif found in the legendary Herm&egrave;s headquarters at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor&eacute;.

Then there are the short shorts, in crinkled cotton, serge linen and rubberised lambskin. If lofty and erudite Herm&egrave;s can embrace soaring hems, that decidedly settles the contentious debate on thigh-baring. The boys and their beautiful legs have won the day, and we&rsquo;re all for it. Slatted sandals with supple soles or rubber notches provide a spring in every stride, while the &ldquo;sunburnt&rdquo; Haut &agrave; Courroies bag is a playful nod to the scorching sear. Even as temperatures rise, it&rsquo;s clear that Nichanian keeps her fashionable cool.
