C’est avec une profonde considération que j’ai eu l’honneur d’être convié par Son Excellence Monsieur Arman Khachatryan, Ambassadeur d’Arménie en France, à l’inauguration de la nouvelle Ambassade, établie au sein d’un lieu d’exception ayant autrefois été la résidence du Président de la République Française, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing. 🇫🇷🇦🇲

Cette réception, rehaussée par la présence de Monsieur Ararat Mirzoyan, Ministre des Affaires étrangères de la République d’Arménie, ainsi que de Monsieur Jean-Noël Barrot, Ministre de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères de la République Française, fut l’occasion d’échanges d’une grande tenue, mêlant élégance diplomatique, héritage culturel et vision commune. 🫶

Être l’un des rares représentants du monde sportif Arménien lors de cet événement conférait à cette invitation une résonance toute particulière, au croisement de l’excellence, de l’engagement et de l’identité. ⛳️

Un moment rare, où le prestige des lieux répondait à la noblesse des rencontres. ✨

Hermès’ Véronique Nichanian Presents Final Show, Closing Historic 37-Year Chapter as Menswear Artistic Director 🇦🇲🇫🇷
➖➖➖
French-Armenian designer Véronique Nichanian has officially presented her final menswear runway show for Hermès, bringing to a close one of the longest and most influential creative tenures in fashion history. The show was presented on January 24, 2026, during Paris Men’s Fashion Week, marking the culmination of a 37-year career that shaped Hermès’ menswear identity and redefined modern luxury, reports French-Armenian journalist Liana Margaryan/Zartonk Media.

Nichanian, 71, was appointed Artistic Director of Hermès Menswear in 1988 at the personal invitation of then-CEO Jean-Louis Dumas. Over nearly four decades, she built the house’s men’s universe from the ground up, establishing Hermès as a global reference for understated elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and timeless design.

Her final collection, shown today, was the 76th runway presentation she designed for Hermès. The moment marked not only a farewell, but a celebration of a creative philosophy rooted in evolution rather than trends. Nichanian’s work consistently emphasized exceptional materials, refined color palettes, and effortless wearability, garments designed to last, not to shock.

Born in France on May 3, 1954, Nichanian studied at the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and began her career at Cerruti in 1976 under Nino Cerruti. When she joined Hermès, the house’s menswear division had yet to be fully defined. Over time, she transformed it into one of the most respected and influential pillars of luxury fashion.

Rather than seasonal reinvention, Nichanian favored subtle refinement of classic silhouettes, introducing innovation through fabric, texture, and proportion. She often described her mission as slowing down time and restoring humanity to fashion, a philosophy that resonated deeply with clients worldwide.

This runway show corresponds to the final collection that will officially conclude her tenure, closing a chapter that began in 1988 and ends with the January 2026 menswear season in Paris.

🇦🇲🇫🇷 Armenian Youth In Paris Wave Artsakh Flags, Call To Free Armenian Hostages At France-Azerbaijan World Cup Qualifier
➖➖➖
On October 10, France hosted Azerbaijan at the Parc des Princes in Paris for a Group D match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, which ended in a 3-0 victory for France.

During the match, French-Armenians in the crowd displayed the flag of Artsakh and held up posters reading “Free the Hostages,” raising awareness about the Armenian prisoners of war and civilians illegally held in Azerbaijani jails. Azerbaijan has detained them for more than two years in violation of international law and continues to act with impunity for its war crimes and human rights abuses.

The Armenian youth mobilized to ensure the issue of Armenian hostages was seen and heard on an international stage, using the high-profile World Cup qualifier to call for justice and freedom for the captives. Stadium security later confiscated the Artsakh flags.

The match ended in a 3-0 victory for France. 

This was reported by Liana Margaryan (@lio___m), an Armenian-French journalist. The video is from the “FRA NOR Seround.”
