For the longest time, Hermès has stood as the epitome of luxury fashion. Synonymous with timeless elegance and immaculate craftsmanship, the storied French house has maintained an unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail, with a devoted customer base to show for it.
For the women's 2023 collection, artistic director Nadège Vanhee looked to build a collection that went against the norm. Breaking free from stereotypical design frameworks has always been a strong suit of Vanhee's, and this season she showcased it through upcycling the maison's excess fabrics into one-of-a-kind garments. The 16-piece capsule release-called Collection HorsSérie, which is French for 'limited-edition-sees leftover scraps, in the form of precious remnants and dormant silk scarves from prior seasons transformed into beautiful concoctions brimming with technical and artistic brilliance.
