"HERMES" 06’s-10’s Viscose knit dress tunic

Through the precision of craftsmanship and material selection, HERMES has led everyday gestures to elegance, and here we introduce a piece that carries a quiet luster.

Crafted from smooth viscose knit, this piece features beautiful drape that follows the body's movements, and even without excessive decoration, it exudes a sense of dignity in its contours. The open neckline is carefully bordered with ribbing, converging into a V-shape at the chest, and layered with three-dimensional rib panels, creating shadows within its minimal surface.

The front features 12 small serial buttons, which go beyond a practical placket to serve as a decoration that guides the eye vertically, and this is part of its charm. The buttons have a soft luster characteristic of mother-of-pearl, blending into the white knit but also conveying richness at close range. The cuffs have slits, and the neat ribbed finish introduces a slight looseness, allowing air to pass through each time the arms move, giving a naturally light impression. The hem is also finished with ribbing, ensuring a sleek vertical silhouette without looking sloppy.

Regarding the era, it is natural to perceive this as a piece from around 2006 to 2010, as the main tag and MADE IN ITALY tag are arranged side by side, and the contact number for Japan listed on the care label aligns with the ready-to-wear of the late 2000s, and the design featuring densely arranged serial buttons as decoration overlaps with the mood of the later Gaultier period. The use of viscose as material also aligns with the flow of summer knits emphasizing drapability, and the season is strongly associated with the spring-summer atmosphere.

While it quietly stands on its own, it can change its expression depending on how it is layered with outerwear or bottoms, making it especially recommended for those who want to subtly differentiate through quality without trying too hard, and it’s delightful to feel HERMES’s philosophy of incorporating quality into everyday life just by putting it on.

In terms of styling, pairing with neat slacks to emphasize the vertical line creates a modern presence, and by layering it as an inner piece under a long coat and finishing the look with leather shoes at the feet, it lands in a minimal yet deep and balanced aesthetic.

Definitely take this opportunity.
