With bold color palettes, exquisite leatherwork, and structured silhouettes, creative director Nad&egrave;ge Vanhee delivered a masterclass in elegance.

Herm&egrave;s presented its Fall/Winter 2025 collection at Paris Fashion Week in one of the most visually intriguing settings of the season. Before the first model stepped onto the runway, guests were treated to a spectacle of its own: attendants meticulously raking the runway floor, which was composed of a textured, dirt-like material. The careful grooming of the venue set the tone for the show&mdash;a perfect interplay between nature and luxury.
As guests sipped on hibiscus mocktails, the anticipation heightened, and when the show finally began, models walked to an intense soundtrack that heightened the drama and emotion of the collection. What followed was a masterclass in understated luxury, with the Herm&egrave;s woman exuding confidence through structure, texture, and movement.

Herm&egrave;s' creative director, Nad&egrave;ge Vanhee, embraced a color story that was both bold and refined, showcasing five distinct palettes that ran through the collection.&nbsp;
Sleek and sexy black dominated, with black-on-black ensembles that fused quilted textures, glossy leathers, and sharp tailoring. A standout was a quilted bomber jacket styled over a knitted turtleneck and leather mini shorts paired with knee-high boots for an effortless edge. Evoking warmth and richness, deep brown leather shorts and boots grounded the collection in timeless sophistication, with belted high-waisted silhouettes adding an air of tailored ease. From stormy steel to muted charcoal, gray monochrome looks presented a softer take on power dressing.&nbsp;
To brighten the collection, Vanhee introduced bold greens, which brought a fresh take on leatherwear, softening the otherwise structured silhouettes. From fitted leather trench coats to belted dresses and matching sets, this vibrant green hue provided a striking contrast against the earthy backdrop. To continue this brighter look, Vanhee also added taupe and cream looks, paired with sleek burgundy boots.&nbsp;

Leather remained a focal point, appearing in a variety of silhouettes, from structured outerwear to fluid trousers and fitted jumpsuits. Quilted textures, belted waist details, and tailored finishes ensured that each look balanced femininity with functionality.
Accessories played a pivotal role in reinforcing the brand&rsquo;s signature luxury. Small and large structured leather bags&mdash;worn crossbody, handheld, or tucked under the arm&mdash;were the perfect complement to the sleek ensembles. Tall leather boots in rich hues, from deep burgundy to olive green, accentuated the strength and confidence of each look, solidifying <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/hermes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herm&egrave;s&rsquo;s</a> continued mastery in leather craftsmanship.
