What: 1970's Hermes cropped trousers

Who: carrie

When: 5.26.09

Where: beacon's closet, brooklyn, ny

Why: because vintage Hermes clothing in good condition is soooo rare. perhaps more importantly, this pair of essentially perfect trousers offers the triumvirate of menswear details i am obsessed with right now: roomy pleats, a cropped & cuffed hemline, and ever-so-slight tapering in the leg. the incredible back view, complete with sculpted welt-pocket flaps and 40's-style double peaks rising at center back, brings my love affair with these trousers into full-fledged devotion territory.
