Hermès Fall 2025 Collection
In its second chapter for Fall 2025, Hermès unveiled in Shanghai a collection that perfectly blends functionality with sophistication, designed for a bold, modern woman. With Shanghai’s spectacular Pudong skyline as a backdrop, Nadège Vanhée, the house’s artistic director for womenswear, reinterpreted Hermès’ classic elegance with an urban, versatile edge.
This collection moves away from the brand’s traditional focus on leather and instead highlights outerwear with a utilitarian spirit: reversible jackets, enveloping double-faced cashmere coats, and parkas featuring Hermès’ signature equestrian details reimagined for a contemporary look. Everything is designed with modularity in mind, allowing endless styling options for today’s fast-paced woman—whether for elegant occasions, casual outings, or even alternative parties.
Vanhée champions fashion that is not only timeless but also invites creativity and personal expression. “It’s the four-by-four coat—you can wear it to a golf club or a gothic party, and it works either way,” the designer explained.
The sophisticated fall color palette unfolded in rich layers of deep reds, burnt oranges, intense blues, and soft clay whites. Silk scarves were styled playfully as ear warmers over baseball caps, tied around the neck, or transformed into tube tops layered over silk shirts—evoking a touch of Miu Miu’s charm. Finishing touches included crossbody mini Kelly bags and brogue or polished riding boots, capturing the joyful aspirations of the Hermès woman.
With a monumental runway set on an orange structure stretching nearly a kilometer along the waterfront, Hermès reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and modernity, captivating a global audience with fashion designed for freedom of movement and personal creativity.
