Hermès Presents Equestrian-Inflected Spring 2026 on a Sand-Swept Paris Runway

Nadège Vanhee's steady tenure contrasts with rivals' designer reshuffles.

Overview

  • The ready-to-wear line featured brassiere tops, quilted silk coats and racer-backed dresses, grounded in leather craft.
  • Models circled a beige, sand-covered set strewn with shell fragments at the Garde Républicaine venue.
  • A neutral palette of beige and khaki was punctuated by selective red accents on a trouser look, a handbag and scarf motifs.
  • Tall riding boots and harness-like leather strapping emphasized the brand’s modern equestrian narrative.
  • Bags leaned into new silhouettes such as a horseshoe shoulder style, buckets and compact bowlers, with just two Birkins on show.
