Hermès unveils second chapter of women's ready-to-wear fall-winter 2025 collection
Put together by Nadège Vanhée, the Artistic director of Women's Ready-to-Wear for Hermès, the second chapter of the Fall-Winter 2025 collection evokes a protagonist of understated strength, effortless allure and subtle complexity, rooted in urban life but drawn to the natural world.

Taking inspiration from equestrian plaits and drawn from the asymmetrical graphics of the Dressage Tressage silk carré by Virgine Jamin, this motif returns with a renewed spirit and modernist expression that weaves a joyful tale shaped by craftsmanship, imagination, and inventive engineering.

You'll also find classical codes that have been transformed through kaleidoscopic arrangements of function, shape, colour and print with modular configurations for clothes to adapt to the movement of everyday life with a fold, turn, and zip. Building on the house's elemental equestrian blanket, poncho sweaters and enveloping coats have been reimagined in double-faced cashmere, lined with Dressage Tressage panels that can be removed depending on the occasion or climate.

Archetypes are invigorated with high craft and a sporty, outdoorsy look with its technical features enhanced by textural elements like cord embellishments on the collars, quilted leathers, contrast braiding on knits, and weaves that are reminiscent of French bistro chairs. In addition to this, a palette evoking the natural landscape balances the collection's rich, earthy tones that were inspired by the equestrian universe with its warm reds and fiery oranges tempered by soft lilac, clay white and inky blue.

From New York to Shanghai, Hermès crafts a wardrobe for the cosmopolitan explorer
Against Shanghai's Blade Runner-esque skyline, Nadège Vanhée staged the second act of her Hermès A/W 2025 womenswear collection—an ode to the modern nomad, sculpted in leather, silk, and eclecticism. A year after debuting 'The Second Chapter' in New York, the artistic director transplanted her vision to the Huangpu River, where a modular, ephemeral pavilion framed the city's neon glow behind towering shutters. The effect was deliberate – a theatrical reveal of a collection as dynamic as the metropolis itself. Vanhée's protagonist is a woman in motion—resilient, sculptural, unapologetically sensual. In Paris, she strode down a dirt-strewn spiral runway, embodying rugged independence. In Shanghai, she evolved into a cosmopolitan explorer, her layers stacked with the pragmatic poetry of travel: water bottles slung on leather straps, sweaters knotted at the waist, bags cross-body like urban armor. The styling pulsed with wit—a glittering boot refracting city lights, headphones hinting at a post-show escape—while hybrid garments, adjustable at the sleeve or seam, whispered of adaptability. Here are our favorite looks at details from the Hermès show Central to the narrative was the braid, lifted from Hermès' equestrian roots and Virginie Jamin's Dressage Tressage scarf. It twisted through coats and linings, a metaphor for Vanhée's design ethos: the slow, deliberate weaving of cultural threads. Here, Parisian rigor met Shanghai's frenetic hybridity, resulting in bold prints, modular silhouettes, and a tension between intellect and play. As the pavilion morphed into a party venue—mirroring New York's all-night energy—the collection's thesis crystallized: Hermès' woman is no longer defined by a single city. She is a citizen of the world, her wardrobe a testament to Vanhée's exacting craftsmanship and nomadic spirit. The second chapter, it seems, is boundless. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images & Feature Image: Supplied

Hermès Headed to Shanghai For a Stunning Runway Event
Headphones around the neck, sweaters wrapped around the waist, bags slung over the back of the shoulder—this is the modern Hermès woman. Today, the French house took to Shanghai to stage 'chapter two' of its fall 2025 collection. The venue was impressive: pivoting panels spun to reveal Lujiazui's vibrant skyline overlooking the Huangpu River. The twinkling lights of the cityscape set the scene for the dynamic woman that Hermès has come to represent. Her personal style, like her life, is perpetually in motion, and the effortless styling reflected that. The collection, which was designed by Nadège Vanhée, the maison's Artistic Director of Women's Ready-to-Wear, had an undeniably energetic feel. Whether it be fingerless leather gloves or leather microshorts, there were touches of personal flair made to appeal to a younger generation of dressers. Silk foulards were wrapped and tied every which way, placing them into a contemporary context, while Kelly bags were worn strapped high up on the chest and belted across the waist for hands-free ease that any cosmopolitan jet-setter would instantly appreciate. In some ways, it felt like a evocation of the infamous Birkin origin story—when Jean-Louis Dumas encountered Jane Birkin in need of the perfect carry-all while on a transatlantic flight—a tale where function truly met fashion in a luxurious collision of needs. However, the collection remained unwaveringly true to Hermès's 'horse girl' roots. In a direct continuation of the show in Paris this March, the sport's motifs shaped the foundations of each silhouette. Braiding, which draws inspiration from equestrian plaiting, continues to be a prominent accent throughout the pieces. And if chapter one was defined by a brooding palette of midnight hues punctuated by bursts of citrus hues, chapter two was filled with rich, earthy tones. The saturated oranges paid homage to both the house's signature color and the natural, rugged landscapes that accompany horseback riding. Between the city lights, the river's reflections, and the vibrancy of the collection's colors, the overall experience was a deeply multifaceted and sensory one.
