Hermès FALL 2024 READY-TO-WEAR

An urban energy, the equestrian style of a biker who thrills to the thrum of the rain.

An equestrian biker who has swapped a horse saddle for a motorcycle seat. With a riding jacket and biker boots, the possibilities of leather are reinvented, while zips offer freedom of movement.

The urban wardrobe of a woman out to conquer the city.

The fall Hermès collection was dedicated to horses and motorbikes, “two riding sports,” Nadège Vanhee said. She herself prefers a bicycle because “it’s safe,” but she had a good time exploring the parallel motifs. You could say she let loose, if the leather clothes weren’t so body-conscious.

Shiny leather, metallic details. Studded lambskin bands follow the geometry of the body, zips run along the contours of a jacket, in which the suppleness of the knits is structured by the meeting of leather and metal.

A fitted, high-waisted bomber jacket, the curve of bootcut pants. A biker-inspired jumpsuit, a belted coat, resilient protection for pounding the streets.

A reinvented look for greater freedom of movement.

Urban style putting a spin on archetypes.

The suppleness of a trench coat takes on a new form, playing with lengths and materials. A double-breasted overcoat, the familiar lines of a riding jacket.
