At the Garde Républicaine in Paris, Hermès presented its spring/summer 2026 women’s ready-to-wear collection, designed by Nadège Vanhée. A luminous and serene show that celebrated movement, strength, and feminine freedom.
Inspired by the equestrian world and by an old Camargue saddle preserved in the maison’s archives, the collection expresses the dialogue between tailoring and saddlery, between precision and lightness. Curved shapes, hand-waxed leather, straps, buckles, and quilted details evoke Hermès’ artisanal tradition, reinterpreted with modernity.
Open horizons, indomitable spirit
The silhouettes, designed for movement, unfold in fluid and intuitive layers. Long coats and asymmetrical skirts pair with brassières and draped dresses, while the iconic silk carrés are transformed into tops or sculptural chokers.
With natural tones and textures that evoke the wind and light of the Mediterranean, the Hermès spring/summer 2026 collection is a hymn to free and confident femininity, a celebration of elegance in its purest form.
Femininity in movement
This new Hermès collection is an invitation to escape. The silhouettes, textures, and gestures evoke an imaginary delta shaped by the wind and the meeting of river and sea. Nadège Vanhée thus pays tribute to a lineage of women who defy time: wild, radiant, free.
With “reins loosened”, Hermès reaffirms its poetic power, the natural elegance of those who master the art of living in motion.
