Hermès took a spirited turn for Fall/Winter 2024, blending classic equestrian elements with a touch of rebellious biker attitude. Creative director Nadège Vanhee drew inspiration from “two riding sports,” horses and motorbikes, resulting in a collection that’s both sophisticated and subtly edgy.
Vanhee didn’t abandon Hermès’ heritage entirely. The collection featured luxurious leather pieces that epitomize the brand’s craftsmanship. Perfectly tailored riding jackets, crafted from pinstripes or rich russet leather, were paired with pencil skirts or leggings for a polished look. A chic fur-trimmed peacoat and Hermès’ signature cowboy boots offered a touch of Western flair.
The collection’s rebellious streak manifested in sleek biker jackets and form-fitting leather pants. Vanhee isn’t afraid to embrace sensuality, evident in the cropped ribbed cashmere sweaters paired with high-waisted jodhpurs and the introduction of studded leather details.
A standout piece is the innovative boot that transforms from a classic equestrian style to a looser biker boot with the simple act of unzipping the shaft. This versatility epitomizes the collection’s ability to blend traditional elegance with contemporary cool.

While dresses often take a backseat at Hermès, they weren’t entirely absent. This season’s offerings featured soft silk scarf prints and smocked details, offering a touch of femininity alongside the more powerful pieces.
Nadège Vanhee has successfully modernized Hermès’ fashion offerings, infusing them with youthful energy and a touch of sex appeal. This Fall/Winter 2024 collection is another testament to her ability to keep the brand’s fashion engine humming while subtly evolving its aesthetic.
