Hermès Brings Functionality and Warmth for Fall/Winter 2025
Véronique Nichanian makes sure the Hermès man is warm and sophisticated for Fall/Winter 2025.
Hermès unveiled its Men’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection in Paris in celebration of Men's Fashion Week under the creative direction of Véronique Nichanian. Known for her mastery of practicality with luxury, Nichanian stayed true to her signature style, presenting a refined lineup that resonated with understated elegance and functional sophistication.
A muted, dark colour palette dominated the collection, with shades of grey, black, and navy forming the foundation of the season's offerings. These neutrals were punctuated by strategic pops of red, adding vibrancy to the otherwise subdued tones. The use of texture played a critical role in the collection, with suede and leather pants, with skinny silhouettes.
One of the most notable elements of the collection was the emphasis on layering, featuring thick turtleneck sweaters under sleek outerwear pieces. Balaclava hoods, which have made a steady return to the fashion forefront, were also incorporated into the looks, lending a contemporary, urban edge. Accessories were equally practical and luxurious, with large bags and totes making a statement on the runway. Whether rendered in supple leather or featuring intricate detailing, these accessories emphasized the collection's focus on utility.
A standout highlight of the show was the series of sleek leather trench coats that quickly emerged as a fan favourite. Reflecting the venue's lighting, these coats exuded a polished sheen that underscores a less traditional but thoughtfully crafted collection.
Nichanian's latest collection continued the narrative set by last year’s Fall/Winter lineup, maintaining the brand’s affinity for greys and putties while introducing butter-yellow patterned knits in fresh iterations. In addition to Nichanian's focus on warmth and functionality, she elevated the collection with tailored suits, bringing a refined formality to the lineup that sets it apart from previous years. Hermès' Fall/Winter 2025 collection proves that it's a perfect fit is for the refined man who enjoys the balance between luxury and practicality.
