Hermès Unveils

Hermès unveiled the second chapter of its Fall/Winter 2026 women’s collection in Los Angeles under artistic director Nadège Vanhee.

Miley Cyrus, Kerry Washington and Keke Palmer attended, each carrying an iconic Hermès Birkin or Kelly handbag.

Hermès Runway Mishap

Creative director Nadège Vanhee jogged the runway after the Hermès show, breaking protocol.
SUVs were stuck on the narrow Bel Air canyon road for up to two hours as guests left.
Hermès paired boots exactly matching the dress shade to elongate silhouettes, used tomato red and butter-yellow as core colors, and added oversized leather bags with gowns for functional luxury.
