Nadège Vanhée Brings Hermès to Los Angeles—and Into Couture
Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski centered the second act on dresses and dance-inspired silhouettes as Hermès expands its fall 2026 narrative.
- On Thursday, Artistic Director Nadège Vanhée of Hermès presented the fall 2026 collection, titled "Silhouettes on the Horizon," in Bel-Air, featuring signature leatherwork alongside new silk evening dresses.
- As the "Second Chapter" of the collection that debuted in Paris, this event continues Hermès' annual road show format, following presentations in Shanghai last year and New York in 2024.
- Inspired by ballet and "the interplay of tension and release," Vanhée shifted focus toward fluid fabrics as celebrities Kerry Washington and Miley Cyrus watched models in the Santa Monica Mountains.
- The luxury brand, valued at around $200 billion, strengthened its U.S. market position through the event, highlighting the American sector's importance during global luxury industry transformation.
- Vanhée is also leading development of a new haute couture atelier for Hermès; while the project remains "still embryonic," she aims to deepen the house's commitment to artisanal know-how for a rarefied clientele.
