Summary
Bel Air hosted Hermès’ fall 2026 Chapter Two show Thursday, where Nadège Vanhée shifted the spotlight to dresses — a softer category for the house — built from its signature Carré scarf.
The Los Angeles installment extended the collection first shown in Paris, using dance, performance and California ease to recast the scarf into draped, body-conscious silhouettes with a strong ballet thread.
Leather still anchored the lineup through sculpted parkas and coats, while duchesse satin, velvet silk dresses, embellished knitwear and a cowboy-tinged leather look widened Hermès’ usual ready-to-wear vocabulary.
The show was the third stop in Vanhée’s traveling Chapter Two format after New York in 2024 and Shanghai in 2025, staged in a structure that took about a month to build.
Los Angeles also underscored the U.S. market’s importance to luxury groups during a slowdown, following recent Dior, Gucci and Louis Vuitton shows and ahead of Zegna’s runway there Friday.
