Overview
- Hermès staged the Bel Air Chapter Two presentation in a butter‑yellow pavilion that took a month to build, with the show taking place Thursday evening.
- Artistic director Nadège Vanhee‑Cybulski framed the second act around a dancer narrative and introduced new, body‑conscious dresses that repurpose the house’s silk carré into eveningwear.
- The collection kept Hermès’ leather heritage visible in sculpted outerwear while adding duchesse satin, velvet silk, sequins and embellished knitwear for a softer evening palette.
- A-list guests including Miley Cyrus, Keke Palmer and Chloë Fineman attended the modern estate show, which used experiential staging to underline the strategic importance of the U.S. market.
- The Los Angeles chapter comes as Hermès readies its first couture offering in July and follows steady growth for the house, with revenue up about 6 percent at constant exchange rates in Q1 2026.
