I recently decided to update myself on all 2010 winter/fall runway shows. While watching streaming video I got a glimpse of the Hermes collection where I noticed the direction this timeless brand focused on for the season which was vintage 30’s female aviators. French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier who is responsible for the seasons look re-created female aviator jumpsuits originally made with leather replaced with satin that gracefully flowed on the runway. The jumpsuits had many female accents making them very androgynous.

Although the jumpsuits in the aviator winter/fall collection where slightly masculine they where many pieces moving towards a feminine direction such as the indirect inspiration halter leather dress with 30’s aspects moving just above the knees accompanied with a modified flying helmet also made form leather which was predominately present in the collection. While watching the show I was drawn to the cut of the jackets, classic crocodile clutch’s as well as the traditional Birkin bags however the piece that caught my eye was the grey gown accented by blue and purple with fur placed on the head flowing with a magnificent silhouette which touched the era Jean-Paul Gaultier was focusing on completing the entire collection.
