Hermès’ Summer 2025 collection, presented amidst a backdrop of canvas and wood panels evoking the intimacy of a studio, is all about embracing a sense of ease and sensuality. Creative Director Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski describes it as a celebration of summer, a feeling of wellbeing, and the relationship you have with your own skin. Her approach to inclusivity is evident in the diverse cast of models, including those who step outside the traditional ‘size zero’ mold. This commitment to diversity further strengthens the collection’s core message of feeling comfortable and confident in one’s own skin.
This theme of ease and confidence is reflected in the collection’s playful use of sheer fabrics, layered over tops, hot pants, and other items. These pieces are paired with ultra-lightweight utility-style leather jackets and other leather garments, showcasing the brand’s expertise in this material. The color palette evokes a sense of warmth and relaxation, featuring tones of sand, brown, and a dry rose hue.
Among the standout accessories are the iconic Birkin bags, worn inside out and held close to the chest, creating a fresh and unexpected touch. Clogs with wooden heels add a touch of rustic charm, alongside the classic equestrian-inspired riding boots. Overall, the collection is a celebration of effortless chic, encouraging women to embrace their individuality and feel confident in their own skin, even in the most simple and relaxed of looks.
