Hermès presented the second chapter of its Women’s Fall-Winter 2026 collection by Artistic Director of Women’s Ready-to-Wear Nadège Vanhée during a June evening in Los Angeles.

Set in a pavilion in the Bel Air hills, the presentation unfolded at sunset against a neon-lit pale-yellow backdrop that blended with the golden-hour landscape, creating a setting where fiction and reality appeared to merge. The collection explored the connection between dressmaking and dance, highlighting the shared language of precision, movement and artistry between dancer, artisan and woman.

Placing the dress at the center of the collection, Hermès extended its savoir-faire beyond leather and silk into fluid silhouettes that express different facets of femininity. Inspired by the dancer’s wardrobe, jewel-toned satin dresses, cache-cœur knits, smocked knit jumpsuits and embroidered details reflected themes of grace and structure.

Sensual silk velvet foulard dresses were paired with biker jackets and glossy leather coats, while draped embroidered gowns shimmered against black satin and deep velvet, evoking a star-filled night sky.
