In the hushed atmosphere of the Musée d’Iéna, Hermès unveiled its Spring-Summer 2026 menswear collection this past Saturday. This architectural gem perfectly reflects the rigorous and timeless elegance championed by artistic director Véronique Nichanian. The exceptional venue, a flawless fusion of modernity and classicism, sets the tone for a wardrobe designed for today’s urban man.
This season, Hermès reinterprets summer in the city through a rich and subtle natural palette. Warm shades of coffee and caramel intertwine with deep burgundy accents and unexpected hints of mint green, bringing a fresh breath to the collection. True to its heritage, the House celebrates its leather craftsmanship with openwork and textured materials, enhanced by meticulous topstitching that testifies to exceptional artisanal skill.
This new menswear wardrobe reveals itself through a harmonious duality of functionality and elegance. Shirt-jackets and blousons, positioned between windbreaker and blazer, blur the lines to create a subtle balance between structure and fluidity. Wide, intentionally cropped trousers are paired with rope sandals, elongating the silhouette while offering sophisticated ease perfectly suited to city life.
This collection is designed for the modern man, for whom elegance is measured not only by cut but also by freedom of movement and the quality of details. Through these pieces, Véronique Nichanian embodies a decidedly contemporary vision of masculine elegance while remaining true to the Hermès heritage.
