Amid Parisian winter’s frosty embrace, Hermès ushered in a world of sartorial warmth and sophistication with the unveiling of its Men’s Winter 2024 collection. The Palais d’léna was transformed into a sanctuary of laid-back luxury, meticulously curated by the visionary designer Véronique Nichanian.

Hermès’ men’s runway on Saturday, January 20, 2024, unfolded as a testament to subtlety, with muted tones and the stealth wealth aesthetic echoing throughout. The collection seamlessly marries luxury and functionality – where gum raincoats meet Prince of Wales check. At its core, the materials take center stage, ranging from deerskin flannel, and cashmere to alpaca, and iridescent wool cloth.

Leather, a hallmark of Hermès, found its place in the collection with narrowly tailored trousers, short pea coats, and parkas crafted in calfskin. This season narrative is without a doubt defined by versatility, as described by Hermès:
“The clothing’s construction is reinvented through play with shapes and counter shapes, with cuts and cutouts, with graphic signatures. . .
A muted palette lights up in acid strokes and deep shimmers. Heather, peat, pumpkin, anise, crocus, khaki. The evening, all in shades of black and brown, shades of matte and shiny, slices through a luminous winter night. Beneath the casual appearance, a sophistication breaks free.”
