HERMES' The Road collection is meant for women on the move.
'A major point this season is the pared-down, simple silhouette,' said Sarah Bonay, the PR manager.
'Everything is easy to wear and the look is easy to put together because there are more solid colours and less prints than usual.' The riding jacket is in red or green, with a velvet collar in pink or orange.
Whereas there is a definite trend for skirts, trouser designs vary from satin jeans to stretch jodhpurs trimmed with leather pockets. The latter have been selling well.
Jodhpurs or wide trousers in fashionable taupe or camel shades are matched with toning wrap-around coats in a soft baby camel.
Leather is prominent in the collection. There are some exciting new finishes for skins.
'We have a new leather which is treated in a way that gives it a matte look' Ms Bonay said.
