I was puzzled by Kris Van Assche’s repeated elements at Dior Homme — the liquid lines of the monochromatic suits and coats, the high-dome hats, the sheer white curtains of the backdrops. I don’t mind when a designer sticks with a groove but in this instance the loose shapes and neutrals looked rehashed. And though Mr. Van Assche is proudly into craft, and his clothes have a certain detached stylishness, it’s hard to see a real connection to how men dress nowadays.
Speaking of French reduction, Hermès looked spare and elegant — right down to those slim, shorty shorts presented by the designer Véronique Nichanian. A turtleneck and a pair of bathing-style shorts? I liked the genuine nonchalance. A lot of designers would wind up with a Cub Scout look or something with a militaristic cast, but I think Ms. Nichanian actually sees a guy putting on a turtleneck with his shorts and sandals to have a quick drink with friends.
