For the Hermes Spring 2010 collection, designer John Paul Gaultier looked towards the tennis courts as inspiration.
The Hermes Spring 2010 collection was full of the a-typical timeless styles that the fashion label is notorious for, and the tennis themed inspirations were executed to near perfection without coming off as gimicky in the slightest.
The runway at the Hermes Spring 2010 RTW show was interesting in itself, with a pavement/astro-turf catwalk.
