HERMÈS

HERMÈS

HERMÈS presents on the official calendar as one of the world’s most prestigious and financially resilient luxury houses. Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès as a harness and saddlery workshop serving European nobility, the house has maintained an unbroken family ownership structure for nearly two centuries, evolving from equestrian leather goods into one of fashion’s most coveted full-spectrum luxury operations, anchored by the iconic Birkin and Kelly handbags, whose scarcity and craftsmanship-driven production have made them among the most valuable accessories in the world. 

The house’s womenswear has been under the creative direction of Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski since 2014, whose tenure has built a design language of understated, exceptionally fabricated luxury that mirrors Hermès’s broader brand philosophy — minimal branding, maximal craft, and a steadfast refusal to chase fashion’s faster trend cycles. Hermès has remained one of the very few major luxury houses to resist acquisition by LVMH, Kering, or Richemont, maintaining independent, family-controlled ownership that the company has credited with allowing it to prioritize long-term craft investment over short-term trend response. 

For S/S 2027, HERMÈS presents on the official calendar with its runway film revealed at 6:00 PM Paris time, continuing nearly two centuries of treating leather craftsmanship, discretion, and patience as the foundation of genuine luxury.
