Set at the Garde Républicaine in Paris, in a room with flowing wheatgrass and dainty flowers, Hermès models walk a runway giving the illusion of what seems to be a maze. But rather than feeling lost, audience members are met with a sense of ease, feeling free in a surrounding that celebrates the natural beauty of our reality. The sounds of wildlife fill the room slowly progressing to booming drums. Creative Director Nadege Vanhee Cybulski sets the stage for Spring/Summer 2024 with a collection that is simple and unhurried, emitting the timeless allure that Hermès is known for.

The dreamy atmosphere was reflected on the runway. There was a rich color palette of burgundy, brown, red, taupe, black, and ivory, many of these shades presented in a monochromatic fashion. As for the garments, there was a sporty and utilitarian take, as seen in the ribbed knit bra tops, cropped halter tanks with racer backs, and geometric apron dresses. This was contrasted by chic professional wear: wide-leg work trousers, relaxed-fit suiting, pencil skirts, and vest tops. 

As a House known for its leatherwork, the use of leather was masterfully incorporated in an array of garments, from the lapels of the long trench coats to the paper bag-waist shorts. The accessories were unsurprisingly noteworthy, as Hermès is a storied accessories brand. Strappy leather sandals, crescent-style bags of all sizes, and oversized bucket totes reigned on the runway. 

Once again, Cybulski unveils a collection that stays true to Hermès' understated elegance through a more modern and sensual lens.
