Just weeks after Jonathan Anderson\u2019s cinematic Cruise 2027 show<\/a> in Los Angeles, which channeled the magic of Old Hollywood, Herm\u00e8s took its turn, leaning instead into magnetic energy that can only be captured amidst an LA golden hour moment. Selecting a picturesque canyon venue nestled in the swanky Bel Air corridor, the French maison transformed a stone parking lot into a butter yellow pavilion for its Fall\/Winter 2026 Second Chapter. The buzzy color drenched every inch of the space, from the ceilings and light fixtures to the seating. This all encompassing coverage was a calculated choice by creative director Nad\u00e8ge Vanhee-Cybulski, likely designed to emulate the sun as it disappeared behind the rolling coastal mountains.<\/p>\n

And while Vanhee-Cybulski\u2019s First Chapter in Paris<\/a> leaned into Herm\u00e8s equestrian roots (think thigh-high riding boots, leather catsuits, and ultra-tailored suiting), the second installment, named \u201cSilhouettes On The Horizon,\u201d came in like a breath of fresh air, drawing from LA\u2019s history as a performance city of free-spirited movement. \u201cDressmaking meets dance: skilled hands mirror the rhythm of rehearsal and performance, while bodies and garments become vessels of articulation,\u201d read the official show notes.<\/p>\n

The buttery theme that covered the venue was also the appetizer \u2014 and through line\u2014 to Vanhee-Cybulski\u2019s California-inspired banquet. Models marched in tonal yellow looks. Flowing silk skirts were juxtaposed with leather jackets and knee-high riding boots. A sparkling jumpsuit featuring a pleated flare silhouette was worn with a cozy bomber. <\/p>\n

As the West-Coast homage continued, so did the high-octane colors \u2014 and Americana vibes. Rich leather sets featured intricate embroidery, likening something that might be seen on an eclectic Topanga Canyon dweller. High-shine, iridescent biker jackets, layered over velvet maxi dresses, were akin to something worn by an L.A it-girl in the \u201890s (hello, Winona Ryder). <\/p>\n

Vanhee-Cybulski\u2019s fascination with ballet was also evident in the silk languid suiting, casually tied at the hip, and peplum cocktail dresses and moto jackets, all set against candy colors of aquamarine and cherry red (playfully dubbed \u201crouge tango\u201d and \u201cvert imp\u00e9rial\u201d). <\/p>\n

\u201cAt once, the gesture breaks free. Dancers spill into the street, suddenly released,\u201d read the show notes. \u201cSensual foulards dress in luminous silk velvet remain in motion, reined in by biker jackets and glossy leather coats: a ride with no limits but the horizon of the Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n
