The Hermès Spring-Summer 2026 men’s show just concluded at Palais d’Iéna in Paris. This season’s collection revolves around the theme “Summer in the City”. Men’s Artistic Director Véronique Nichanian employed neutral tones like plaster, coffee, caramel, light taupe, and kraft paper for a “visual cooling” effect. The collection features openwork weaving techniques applied to leather jackets, shirts, and trousers for breathability, complemented by accessories like fringed diamond scarves, rope-soled open-toe sandals, and canvas totes to create a light, flowing summer atmosphere.
The runway featured multiple reflective surfaces that created an interplay between the indoor space and outdoor greenery, producing mirage-like visual effects that transported attendees to another dimension.
