For nearly two centuries, Hermès has built its reputation on the workshop floor rather than the runway. According to a statement shared exclusively with WWD, Hermès will present its first haute couture collection during Paris Couture Week in January, confirming a launch date that had been anticipated for months. The collection will be designed by Nadège Vanhée, artistic director of Hermès womenswear, who will present her first made to measure collection as part of the spring 2027 haute couture season. Not the Only Debut on the CalendarHermès will not be walking into Paris Couture Week quietly. Hermès has built its business on slow, deliberate craftsmanship, and its first couture show appears designed to prove that philosophy can hold up under a bigger spotlight.
