Hermès F/W25 elevates the horse girl aesthetic

Move over, rustic barn jackets. Make way for a refined, city-ready wardrobe.

Nadège Vanhee staged the show at the Garde Républicaine, where a dirt-covered runway set the scene for a modern take on functional dressing.

Black was the base: charcoal, ink, and deep gray made up most of the collection. Touches of green, marble white, and warm brown served as a breaker for the constant stream of dark colors on the runway. Goatskin pea coats, silk bombers, and full-length shearling coats stood out, each designed with small details that made them easy to wear in different ways. Some had hidden zippers, others could be flipped inside out for a second look.

Long wool coats featured floppy lapels that mimicked loosely draped scarves. Chunky sweaters were tied around the neck for a relaxed look. Fingerless gloves stretched past the elbow, paired with sleeveless dresses for contrast. Floor-length dusters were worn over black leather shorts inspired by saddle flaps, styled with structured boots and turtlenecks.

Small leather bags were tucked under arms or worn crossbody. Boots in burgundy and deep green complemented the collection’s muted tones.

The collection embraced all-black dressing in an attempt to evolve the horse girl aesthetic, moving beyond rustic barn jackets into a refined, city-ready wardrobe.
