Hermès to unveil its first haute couture collection in January 2027

9 Jul 2026

For the venerable House of Hermès, the start of 2027 will usher in two major changes. It was already confirmed that Grace Wales Bonner would present her eagerly awaited first menswear collection during Men’s Fashion Week, succeeding Véronique Nichanian, who designed Hermès menswear for nearly four decades. But the management of the family-owned group had another surprise in store. The storied saddler will unveil its first haute couture collection during Haute Couture Week in January 2027.

The project was well advanced, and Axel Dumas, the group’s executive chairman- with the group reporting revenue of €16 billion in 2025- had hinted at a launch in the near future during the presentation of the 2025 financial results. “We’ve brought in new ateliers. We’ve hired seamstresses. What I’ve seen has been superb. I’m quite excited and proud of the work done by the teams,” he explained at the time, beaming. “But we’ll present it when we’re ready. It has to be finished and unveiled at the right moment.”
