The Hermes Fall 2010 line was a collection of tight leather and black bowler hats. Models strutted down the runway in ensembles that included heads topped with cute yet dark bowler hats, and classic three-piece suit styles. They were also accessorized with either a pocket watch or umbrella, which made the models look as if they had stepped out of time machine from jolly, old-world England.
So, nothing truly ever goes out of style. Now who wishes that they had held onto their Doc Martens?
