France's Veronique Nichanian will present her final men's collection for Hermes on Saturday after 37 years as chief designer, the end of an era for the family-run firm and one of the industry's top female creatives.

Her departure adds to the upheaval at the top of the European luxury clothing sector over the last 12 months, which has seen a new generation of designers promoted at a host of brands including Chanel, Dior and Gucci.
