1. Simple shapes

2. Block colors, Black and White primary 

3. Volume in sizes

Christophe Lemaire Spring 2013 collection for Hermes; very modern/minimal design  reminds me of why I LOVE the look! The short finger-less and thumb-less gloves came in a mix of colors, in plain and rigid leather.

As far as I'm concerned this is a winner.
