Thanks for the news! So many designers are in and out of the door these days. Keep us updated when you can :)
I’m a huge fan of JPG’s name line, so I’m happy with the news that he’s leaving to focus on it.
I’ve never heard of this other designer. I hope he can continue in the same direction that the company visions.
I remember back when Jean Paul Gaultier was picked for the gig. I remember thinking how odd, because he’s such an avant garde designer, and Hermes is so opposite, more toned down if you will. Well he did an amazing job and I wish him the best of luck focusing on his line.
I can’t wait to see the new collection.
